Acid Rain Acid rain is polluted rain. The pollutants go up to the atmosphere and when it rains it brings the pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can make rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ or even fog. The scientific term for acid rain is acid deposition which means when the acid is taken from the air and is deposited on the earth. Major industries‚ coal burning factories‚ power plants and automoble engines

Kong Acid rain on plant -Background information Unpolluted rain is normally slightly acidic‚ with a pH of 5.6. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere dissolves to form carbonic acid. Acid rain is rain that has been made acidic by certain pollutants in the air. Acid rain is a type of acid deposition‚ which can appear in many forms. Wet deposition is rain‚ sleet‚ snow‚ or fog that has become more acidic than normal. Dry deposition is another form of acid deposition‚ and this is

Alvarenga Lab Partner: Keren Appiahene Mussie Gide 10 September 2016 Experiment 2: Acid- Base Extraction Separation of an Organic Acid‚ a Base and a Neutral Compound Introduction: The extraction technique is often used in the organic lab to separate organic compounds from mixtures. One type of an extraction technique is the acid-base extraction‚ which is used to separate organic compounds from a mixture based on their acid-base properties.1 There are certain principles that must be taken into account

rainfall is slightly acidic because carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in the raindrops to produce hydrogen ions. Yet‚ normal rainfall is not considered acid rain. Acid rain is a form of air pollution in which airborne acids produced by electric utility plants and other sources fall to Earth in distant regions. The corrosive nature of acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment. The problem begins with the production of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels

Acid Reflux or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is caused by stomach acid rise towards the esophagus and cause pain in the solar plexus or a burning sensation in the chest. The cause of acid reflux (GERD) is the proper functioning of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). LES is a circle of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus. LES serves as the automatic door opens when food or drink down to the stomach. After the food came in‚ the LES will be shut down to prevent the existing food and acid

Acidity’s effects on Fruit Browning Aim: To test whether the acidity of the surface area of an apple has an effect on the rate of enzymatic browning over 70 minutes. Hypothesis: the more acidic the surface area the longer it takes for the fruit to oxidise. Variables: Independent: acidity of surface area of the apple Dependent: the progression of melanin (brown pigment) after 70 minutes Controlled/fixed: time of day‚ knife used to cut fruit‚ portion of fruit‚ environment

Another reason why this is a strong acid is that its conjugate base has strong resonance stabilization
