Acid Rain EssayThe topic I have chosen is acid rain and how it affects us as humans and our environment. One of the main causes of acid rain is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, gasoline and fuel oils. These fuels send oxides of sulfur, carbon and nitrogen into the air. These oxides combi...

The definition of acid rain is rain containing acids that form in the atmosphere and combine with water, regardless of the cause. Pollution, volcanic eruptions, power-generating plants, forest fires, and even lightning bolts are causes of acid rain. Acidic rain has been measured in several locations...

In the past century, one of the greatest threats to North America\'s water system has been the widespread acid rain spread through thousands of waterways.

The cleaning of coal was originally used to reduce costs from transporting inert material and improving the quality and uniformity of coal. This p...

Many acids and bases are things that we use every day. Actually the definition of an acid is any compound that forms H+ ions in solution. I have noticed that many acids have a level of pH lower than 7. The lower the number of pH the more acidic the substance is. Everyday substances that we know of, ...
