Acid Rain and its Chemistry Acid rain is a type of pollution that is becoming a major threat to our planet and is need of attention. Acid rain has significantly increased ever since the industrial revolution‚ and now around the world‚ countries like Russia‚ China‚ and those in Europe are facing increasing levels of acidity in their rain. Not only is it becoming more acidic but it is also spreading by the pumping of sulfuric gasses deeper into the atmosphere from of the use of taller smokestacks

First‚ the base was created‚ which was made out of 1.00 g of NaOH and D-water. Then the buret was attached to the clamp on the ring stand and the base was poured into the buret. After that‚ one by one‚ an aspirin tablet was dropped

Standardization of hydrochloric acid by sodium carbonate Concentrated hydrochloric acid is roughly 11 M. Pour out into a measuring cylinder about 2 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Transfer it to a 250 cm3 flask and make up to the mark with water. Shake well. Put some pure sodium hydrogen carbonate or anhydrous sodium carbonate into an evaporating dish and heat gently over a low flame for about fifteen minutes‚ stirring continuously. Take care not to heat the mass too strongly or fusion

dissolve in the hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. This is because magnesium is higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series. Therefore‚ when the two reactants are combined‚ a displacement reaction occus and the magnesium displaces the hydrogen‚ forming magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) -> MgCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g) Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid -> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Aim The aim of this investigation is to observe the

Acid Attack 4 women in their early 20s were attacked by a 41 year old mentally unstable woman. On September 18‚ 2017 there was an acid attack at the train station in Marseilles. ( Which is in southern France). The women that were attacked by acid are Courtney Siverling‚ Charlotte Kaufman‚ Kelsey Kosten‚ and Michelle Krug. The kind of acid that was used was hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid was brought in a DIY store and was sprayed form a spray canister. They were attacked by a mentally

caused when someone’s stomach produced excess amounts of gastric acids. One of the abundant acids is Hydrochloric Acid (HCl); this acid has a pH level of 1. When there is too much acid in our stomach‚ it rises up to the esophagus‚ which causes the burning sensation known as heartburn. You can treat this if you take antacids‚ antacids are mild bases that can help neutralize the stomach and ends heartburn.

9.1 Sulphuric Acid Sulphuric Acid is Manufactured in Industry 1. Sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 is manufactured in industry through Contact Process. 2. The raw materials used are sulphur‚ air and water 3. The Contact process consists of three stages. Stage 1: The production of sulphur dioxide This can be obtained by two methods: 1. Burning of sulphur in dry air in the furnace S + O SO2 2. Burning of metal sulphide such as zinc sulphide or iron(III) sulphide in dry air. 2ZnS
