(Andrei, 2012) However, since the start of industrialization in the 18th century, humans have been abusing such important features of life and created acid deposition. (The Ledger, 2014) The pH scale is composed of values starting from zero, the most acidic, to 14.0, the most alkaline. (EPA USA, 2014) While regular rain has a pH value of around 5.6, acid rain has a pH value of around 4.0. The highest level of acidity of rain ever recorded was identical to the

Acid Rain and Its Impact on the Environment Jason A. Flores Environmental Science 101 Farmer MSJC/Beaumont High School December 19, 2016 Introduction Acid rain, according to the EPA, is any form of precipitation such as rain, fog, sleet, snow, hail, or even dust that contains acidic components (2016). It can also be called “acid deposition” and will usually contain compounds such as sulfuric or nitric acid in their wet or dry forms. While acid rain might not have an immediate apocalyptic effect

Acid-Base Balance Kelly Heffron Grand Canyon University NUR-614 September 16, 2015 Acid-Base Balance The acid base balance is a homeostatic process that aides the body in maintaining a pH in the arterial blood between 7.35-7.45 (Patient, 2015). The body works together through multi-systems to ensure that acidity or alkalinity never take over within the blood. The purpose of the following paper is define the classification of the acid-base balance, define the factors from the case study,

If you have not heard the term acid rain before it is imperative that you understand the detrimental effects of this critical issue. According to the National Atmospheric program, “Acid rain” was a term well known by the public in the 1980s when uncontrolled emissions from industrial companies and motor vehicles were blamed for causing environmental deterioration. The development of scientific evidence has connected acid rain to decreased wildlife populations, degraded lakes and streams, and human

Experiment 5 titled “Acids, Bases, Salt, and pH”. The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with some properties of salt, bases, and acids, measure acidity (pH), and correlate abnormal acidity of blood or urine. The activities for this lab is to measure the pH of some acid solutions and base solutions using pH paper/meter, and neutralize an acid solution by reacting with base solutions. To begin this experiment (Acid), there will be bottles of different acids (hydrochloric, nitric acid, sulfuric, and

Sonia Chrysochoou (201647422) CL218 Laboratory 4: Acids and Bases Introduction Concrete is a unique and extensive conducive construction material by virtue of its excellent compressive strength. Structures and structural elements made of concrete must therefore also be able to withstand chemically attacking substances, which are constantly acting on them because this affects the concrete strength. This laboratory examines the effects of acids and bases on the strength of the concrete. Methodology

Description Nitric acid is commonly used in the chemistry laboratory. However, it has various uses in other industries as well such as in fertilizer production, and in the explosives industry. In this lesson, we will discuss nitric acid and its different uses. !!!Structure and Formula of Nitric Acid Nitric acid is a substance that we encounter more often than we think. If you ever bought a bag of fertilizer, and whenever it rains, then this means that you have encountered nitric acid. This is because

experiment, samples containing Ascorbic Acid were titrated in order to determine the concentration of Ascorbic Acid in Green Tea, Rose Hips Tea, orange and commercial drink. I2(aq) + Ascorbic Acid → 2I-(aq) +Dehydroascorbic Acid After I collected the data the how much Iodine reacted, I averaged my measurements and used those value in calculations. This approach helped me to minimize the different errors of measurement. The concentrations of Ascorbic Acid could be calculated by referring to the

Acid rain is the general term that includes any form of precipitation composed of sulfuric or nitric acid. When sulfur and nitrogen oxides are emitted into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels and vehicles, they are transported by wind currents; reacting with water, oxygen, and other elements to form acids. As a result, these acids mix with water and fall to the ground, polluting soil or various bodies of water. Although this cycle is unseen, acid rain dramatically affects the environment

building material was least affected by acid rain. In this lab, vinegar was used as a substitute for acid rain. Acid rain is rain that is very acidic, it has a pH between 5 and 5.5. Acid rain is a major environmental issue in Connecticut. It is caused by pollutants in the water, when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine in the atmosphere. Sulfur dioxide is formed by coal burning power plants and nitrogen oxides are made by car exhaust (1).The precipitation of acid rain occurs in the sulfur cycle,
