the concentration of the acid solution changes the rate of the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal. • As the metal reacts with the acid‚ hydrogen gas is produced and the metal dissolves. To get an estimate of the rate of reaction‚ the time taken for a small piece of magnesium ribbon to dissolve (disappear) can be measured. This is a “clock reaction” and the reaction rate is proportional to 1/time taken SAFETY Dilute hydrochloric acid is harmful. Wear safety spectacles

Jennifer Everett Phase 4 DB Instructor: Clement Yedjou 3/10/2015 Acid rain Acid rain is a result of air pollution that is harmful to the environment‚ generally caused by fuels being burnt. When any type of fuel is burnt‚ many different chemicals are produced. These gases that are released react with the water in clouds‚ and the rain from these clouds is acid rain. This type of acid disposition can appear in many other forms besides just rain‚ such as sleet‚ snow‚ and fog (Editorial Board‚ 2013)

GIVEN: TO DESIGN A 1000TPD CAPACITY H2SO4 ACID PLANT BASIS: 1 HOUR OF OPERATION. PURITY: PRODUCT WHICH IS TO BE MANUFACTURED IS ASSUMED TO HAVE STRENGTH OF 98% ACID. 1000TPD implies that we have Acid 1000 x 10 / 24 = 41666.67 Kg/Hr of 3 With 98% purity‚ the acid that is produced per hour = (98 x 41666.67) / 100 = 40833.34 Kg/Hr Kmoles of Sulfuric acid to be produced = 40833.34 / 98 = 416.667 Kmoles/Hr It’s assumed that overall absorption of the acid is 100 % = 416.667 / 1.0 Then‚ SO3 required

Acid Rain and the Effects of our Monuments and Churches The two controlled experiments that I chose to do‚ do not involve trees or plants‚ which I think a lot of people will be doing. I wanted to explore the devastation that acid rain does to our historic monuments and beautiful churches. My first controlled experiment is based on the Statue of Liberty. It is made of copper so I am using pennies in my experiment. (nps.gov. n.d.) My observation is that acid rain corrodes metals

on biological thinking as the discovery of base-pairing in nucleic acids. These complementariness principles do not only underlie current ideas on the structure of the nucleic acids‚ but they form the foundation of all speculations‚ more or less well- founded‚ on their physical properties (denaturation‚ hypochromic- ity‚ etc.)‚ on the transfer of biological information from deoxy- ribonucleic acid to ribonucleic acid‚ and on the role of the latter in directing the synthesis of specific

Introduction: Acid rain has proven to be a big problem for Connecticut. It has had a great impact on builders‚ wildlife‚ and the water sources. Acid rain has many components in it such as pollutants from plants to sulfuric acid from burning coal. Problem: Which stone is the most resistant against acid rain? Hypothesis: If we test the different stones against acid rain then red sand stone would be the best because it is heavier and cannot be easily broken. Independent variable: Type of stones

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid characterized by the presence of at least one carboxyl group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R-COOH‚ where R is some monovalent functional group. A carboxyl group (or carboxy) is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl (RR’C=O) and a hydroxyl (R-O-H)‚ which has the formula -C(=O)OH‚ usually written as -COOH or -CO2H. Carboxylic acids are Brønsted-Lowry acids because they are proton (H+) donors. They are the most common type of organic acid. Among
