Eichbauer IB Chemistry II – Period 6 16 February 2015 Investigation of the Effects of Acid Rain Background Information Acid rain is when there is a mix of wet and dry deposited material in the atmosphere that have higher levels of nitric and sulfuring acid. These chemicals formed can be from natural causes‚ like volcanoes and the decay of vegetation‚ or man made causes like fossil fuel combustion. Acid rain can be measured using the pH scale‚ and will always be on the lower end of the spectrum

Electrolysis Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are broken down into simpler substances using electricity. During electrolysis‚ metals and gases may form at the electrodes. What is electrolysis? Ionic substances contain charged particles called ions. For example‚ lead bromide contains positively charged lead ions and negatively charged bromide ions. Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances when an electric

Acid Attack: Should the punishment be more stringent? Ways to maim or murder our women- It never gets old. Sometimes they are killed in the womb itself‚ and if they are lucky enough to survive they are doused in kerosene and set alight‚ dragged and‚ raped‚ or Acid is thrown on their faces –perhaps the worst form of torture. Acid attack results in a living death‚ a lifetime in hell on earth. The victim becomes pariah‚ outcast from the society‚ employment and sometimes from their families too.

3. Collect all materials needed for a procedure before proceeding. 4. Perform reactions under the hood when directed. Chemicals may be weighed and prepared at balance or lab tables‚ but tests should be carried out under the hood. 5.Acids and caustic chemicals are stored in the hood. Please do not take these chemicals from the hood. Procedure: PART 1: Metathetical reactions Precipitation reactions A1. Add a dropperful of 0.1 M sodium carbonate in a test tube of 0.1 M calcium

Running head: ACID RAIN AND ITS EFFECTS Acid Rain: The Killer Rain Twanda Banks Grantham University April 5‚ 2011 Abstract Every time you turn on the television or take a ride in a car‚ you could be contributing to a problem called acid rain. Acid Rain is a serious problem with devastating effects. Every day this problem increases. Many believe that this issue is too small to deal with‚ but if the acid rain problem is not met with head on‚ the effects on people‚ plants‚ animals‚ and the

What is acid rain? Rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm‚ typically to forests and lakes. What chemicals make rain acidic‚ and how does it happen? Besides water‚ and carbonic acid (from carbon dioxide dissolved in the rain droplets)‚ the primary components of acid rain are sulfuric acid‚ which comes from sulfur dioxide derived from the burning of coal‚ and nitric acid‚ which from nitrogen emissions. Where do these chemical come from?

and industrial applications. Citric Acid is one of the organic acids commonly used as a chelating agent. It is considered an excellent chelating agent that binds metals. It is used to remove lime scale from boilers and evaporators. It can be used to soften water‚ which makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water‚ it lets these cleaners produce foam and work better without need for water softening devices. Citric acid is the active ingredient in some bathroom

had been dissolved in the solvent. In this experiment we also used a chemical method known as extraction. This process of separation is used when only one component of the mixture is soluble in a specific solvent. In our case we had to use hydrochloric acid (HCl).Extractions‚ is a way to separate a desired substance when it is mixed with others. The mixture is brought into contact with a solvent in which the substance of interest is soluble‚ but the other substances present are insoluble. And below

Electrophoresis of Amino Acids Introduction: Electrophoresis is a separation technique based on the movement of charged ions under the influence of an electrical field. This technique is primarily used for the separation of amino acids and peptides on the basis of their charge. All amino acids contain ionizable groups that cause the amino acids‚ in solution‚ to act as charged polyelectrolytes that can migrate in an electric field. The amino acids with a net positive charge will migrate toward
