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

What Causes Acid Rain? {2} {2} Acid rain caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere‚ where they mix and react with water‚ oxygen‚ and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants‚ known as acid rain.{2} Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve very easily in water and can be carried very far by wind. As a result‚ the two compounds can travel long distances where

Lab 12: Titration of Acetic Acid in Vinegar Abstract: To lesarn how to titrate chemicals in a lab. Also to be able to determine the concentration of an acetic acid solution. Purpose: To learn how to titrate‚ and calulate the concentration of an acetiuc acid solution. In this case the concentration of vinegar‚ which is diluted acetic acid. Hypothesis: The sodium hydroxide used in this titration would balance out the acetic acid in vinegar. The phenolpthalein‚ a acid –base color indicator will

Acid-Base Titration Objectives: 1. To titrate a hydrochloric acid solution of unknown concentration with standardized 0.10M sodium hydroxide. 2. To utilize the titration data to calculate the molarity of the hydrochloric acid. Materials: See handout for more info. Procedure: See handout for more info. Data and Calculations: Table 1: Volume of NaOH Required to Neutralize 10.00mL of Unknown HCl Molarity of NaOh | Trial 1 | Trial 2 | Trial 3 | Trial 4 | Initial Volume of NaOH(mL)

Acid-Base Calculations The Ion-Product Constant for Water‚ Kw Water undergoes ionization to a small extent: H20(l) H+(aq) + OH–(aq) The equilibrium constant for the reaction is the ion-product constant for water Kw: (1) This is a key equation in acid-base chemistry. Note that the product of [H+] and [OH–] is a constant at a given temperature (Eq(1) value is for 25oC). Thus as the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution increases‚ the hydroxide ion concentration decreases

menace. Because of pollution in the air‚ acid gases from factories‚ cars and homes‚ the rain is becoming dangerous for the life of every living creature. This rain is known as ’acid rain’. WHAT IS ACID RAIN? Acid gases are produced when fossil fuels like coal and oil are burned in power stations‚ factories and in our own homes. Most of these acid gases are blown into the sky‚ and when

Acid Rain Acid rain is polluted rain. The pollutants go up to the atmosphere and when it rains it brings the pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can make rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ or even fog. The scientific term for acid rain is acid deposition which means when the acid is taken from the air and is deposited on the earth. Major industries‚ coal burning factories‚ power plants and automoble engines

Kong Acid rain on plant -Background information Unpolluted rain is normally slightly acidic‚ with a pH of 5.6. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere dissolves to form carbonic acid. Acid rain is rain that has been made acidic by certain pollutants in the air. Acid rain is a type of acid deposition‚ which can appear in many forms. Wet deposition is rain‚ sleet‚ snow‚ or fog that has become more acidic than normal. Dry deposition is another form of acid deposition‚ and this is

rainfall is slightly acidic because carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in the raindrops to produce hydrogen ions. Yet‚ normal rainfall is not considered acid rain. Acid rain is a form of air pollution in which airborne acids produced by electric utility plants and other sources fall to Earth in distant regions. The corrosive nature of acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment. The problem begins with the production of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels
