The Cause and Effects of Acid Mine Drainage INTRODUCTION Imagine going fishing on a cool Autumn day‚ the trees are all different shades of orange‚ brown and red and the birds are singing their beautiful songs‚ but their is a serious problem because when you arrive at the river all plant and animal life are gone. This is by no means a recent phenomenon. This is due to the effects of acid rock drainage (ARD). This is a problem that has been occurring since ancient times‚ but it was not until

Title: Acids‚ Bases & Buffers Objectives: 1. To understand the acid-base chemistry. 2. To prepare and evaluate a buffer system 3. To measure the buffering capacity of two types of isotonic drinks. Introduction: There are acid-forming‚ basic forming and neutral food‚ however the acid or alkaline properties of a food is unable to judge by the actual acidity of the food itself. For example‚ citrus fruits such as lemon are acidic‚ but they are alkaline-forming when we consume and digest it. Therefore

Before we began naming acids and bases we must understand each term. A base is a compound that produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. An acid is a compound that produces hydrogen ions in solution is a hydrogen-ion donor‚ or electron –paired accepter. The name of the acid depends on the ion’s ending and the number of hydrogen atoms must be equal to the negative charge‚ and the name of a base depends on if it contains OH or hydroxide. The naming of an acid depends on the suffix of the cation

Acid Rain and its Effects On Our Aquatic Ecosystems In the past century‚ one of the greatest threats to North America ’s aquatic ecosystem has been the widespread acidification of hundreds of thousands of waterways. Acid rain has effected plant and animal life within aquatic ecosystems‚ as well as microbiologic activity by affecting the rates of decomposition and the accumulation of organic matter. What causes this poisonous rain‚ and what can be done to improve North America ’s water quality
