Cause and Effect Essay: Acid Rain Pisal Sorn Advanced Writing Skills - ELT 114 Section 1 Professor: Robert Flinn April 11‚ 2014 Cause and Effect Essay: Acid Rain Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that unusually acidic‚ meaning that the level of pH is below 7. Acid rains can happen due to the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which it reach to water molecules in the atmosphere to form acids. Acid rain is resulting from natural

coke over the rust and it will loosen it so it is easier to remove. What is acid? Acid is a mixture of pH‚ other acids‚ hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. The more hydrogen ions in the acid more powerful the acid will be. Acid is in everyday things from eating and drinking to sleeping. Acid is in coffee‚ toothpaste‚ oranges‚ fruit‚

Benzoic Acid and Benzoates in Food‚ Drinks and Medicines Benzoic acid and benzoates are common additives to food‚ drinks‚ medicines and cosmetics‚ and they also occur naturally in many plants. They are useful chemicals in manufactured products because they kill or inhibit both bacteria and fungi and can act as preservatives. Benzoic acid and benzoates are considered to be safe chemicals for humans when they’re used in small quantities‚ but there are at least two situations in which even small

Melissa Carrithers AP Chemistry period 6 2-11-15 Determination of Ka of Weak Acids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the strength of weak acids by determining the equilibrium constants for their ionization reactions in water. Is to use their measured pH values to calculate the pKa for the two unknown weak acids thus determining their identities. Hypothesis: If we neutralize a solution that contains a weak acid by adding a strong base to the solution‚ then the ions will be isolated and
