10 Results for acid rain

1. Acid Rain is caused by pollution containing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and ozone that is released into the air. These chemicals are absorbed into clouds and results in Acid Presipitation ( Acid Rain, Acid Snow, Acid Hail, Acid Sleet ). When the chemicals aren\'t absorbed into the clouds, the...
Acid rain is one of the most widely publicized environmental problems of today. It has been known for many years that the chemical content of precipitation can vary as a result of scavenging of atmospheric gases and particles. The consequences of widespread acid precipitation are adverse and benefic...

The purpose of this lab is to separate soil by setting in water to find the % of various components. In this lab I learned a lot. I learned that there is a lot more stuff to the soil than we can see; there is floating leaf litter, Sunken leaf litter, silt and sand all in a jar of soil. However, it...
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, ...
