Is there really such a thing as rain with acid in it? Yes‚ acid rain is a very real phenomenon worldwide‚ and it’s been documented since the 1800s‚ as the Industrial Revolution caused the burning of fossil fuels like coal‚ gas and oil. When these fuels or any other organic material like wood or paper are burned‚ they release compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrous oxides (NOx) into the air. Are SO2 and NOx the causes of acid rain? Indirectly‚ yes. When SO2 and NOx enter the atmosphere

essentially the same experiments but with temperature changes one can determine how k is affected by temperature changes and the new activation energy. Also‚ from graphs the activation energy was determined to be 33.3 kJ/mol. INTRODUCTION: The rate of a chemical reaction often depends on reactant concentrations‚ temperature‚ and the presence of a catalyst. Additionally‚ the rate law is determined mathematically only from experimental data. The reaction investigated in this experiment is: 2I-(aq) +

Eric McKenzie Geophysical Science Honors February 14th‚ 2014 ACID RAIN 1. Acid rain is rainfall created by pollution in the atmosphere. When the rainfall occurs‚ it almost always causes harm to the environment. 2. Acid rain is caused by the release of certain compounds into the air‚ including sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These compounds mix and react with chemicals such as oxygen and water and form acid rain. 3. Acid rain can harm the environment by acidifying lakes and streams‚ which greatly

THE GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SULFATE Learning Goals. 1. To determine the amount of Sulfate in an Unknown sulphate sample. 2. To perform and develop skills in precipitation Gravimetric method of quantitative analysis. DISCUSSION: Gravimetric analysis is one of the oldest analytical techniques and for this reason is referred to as a "classical method." Gravimetric procedures are usually very accurate‚ but more tedious than other methods. The only major equipment needed

1. Determine the spring constant‚ k‚ of Spring 1‚ by using Hooke’s Law. Take three different measurements (since 3 masses) and do three calculations and average your k’s to get a more accurate answer. By applying lots of friction‚ you will be able to get your mass to hang still. Show a table of your data and your calculations of k. Spring 1 with three different masses: 50 grams: Spring stretched: 5m F = 50gm * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.00 N K= 490/5m = 98 100 grams: Spring stretched: 10m F = 100gm * 9
