    This project is testing the corrosion levels in different metals. Which metal is the most resistant to corrosion? This is an important question because If you are building something you probably would want to know which metal will last longer for building materials for your house. These metals can get rust and rust can be harmful and get you sick in different ways. The hypothesis is that zinc coated metals will be least resistant to corrosion and the most is copper from its high resistance level

    Acid rain has proved to take a huge toll on Ontario’s ecosystem. However, in this section of the textbook, factors such as effects of acid rain, assessing the effects on soil and water, acidity levels and others, contribute to the main topic of acid rain in an ecosystem. To begin, the downpour of acid rain is due to the emissions from human activities that contain different pollutants/invisible gases that can be very harmful to the environment. In other words, substances containing nitrogen and Sulphur

    pollution are caused from many different activities that humans take part in. For example, driving cars, and or anything that produces carbon dioxide goes into our air causing damage to our atmosphere. Volcanic eruptions can spew massive amounts of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, sometimes causing cooling that lasts for years’ (Pollution. Para. 4). Areas that pollution effects are Earth’s Atmosphere, Global Warming and the Ozone Layer. The author of my article is Peter Essick. He is a photographer

    Sulfur affects plants in positive and negative ways. They actually need small amounts of sulfur to live. They obtain the sulfur from the soil. Sulfur is brought up from natural soil decay and previous plant matter. That also is how Sulfur acts as a soil conditioner. The plants only need very little amounts of sulfur, about 10 to 30 lbs per acre. To little or not enough can cause the plants to get sick or weak. In plants, sulfur is essential for nitrogen-fixing nodules on legumes, and necessary in

    (Hewayde, Nehdi, Allouche & Nakhla, 2007). When the gas, (sulfur dioxide) is released into the air, it combines with oxygen to form another gas (sulfur trioxide, SO3), which reacts with water to form sulfuric acid (Revie, Uhlig & Wiley, 2011). The reaction is indicated below; S (s) +O2 (g) SO2 (g) SO2 (g) + O2 (g) SO3 (g) SO3 (g) + H2O (l) H2SO4 (aq) (Hewayde et al., 2007) Sulfur dioxide results when a reaction occurs between the sulfur element and oxygen in the air. The acid occurs in the air

    behaviour of a substance during a chemical reaction. The raw meat is being changed into cooked meat, the proteins are being altered. f) Sulfur trioxide changing into sulfuric acid in the atmosphere is a chemical property because it shows what is happening to the sulfur trioxide as it is reacting with the water in the atmosphere. This is is the behaviour of sulfur trioxide in a chemical change. 3. a) Air being blended into ice cream giving it a lighter texture is a physical change because the air is not

    the environment. When you burn coal or any other fossil fuels, the sulfur in the coal reacts with the oxygen in the air in a combustion reaction, this produces a chemical called sulfur dioxide (S + O2 → SO2). This chemical then rises up into the air and further reacts with the oxygen in the atmosphere. This produces sulfur trioxide in a chemical reaction that can be shown as 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3. When the sulfur trioxide then comes in contact with water or water vapour in the air, it reacts to

    Ocean acidification is the process through which acid is formed due to the burning of fossil fuels in modern industrial society and combined with ocean water. There are unwanted gas like carbon dioxide which are now a days increasing due to human activities emission in to the environment and much of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by the oceans and the combination of carbon dioxide emitted when combined with the ocean water, carbonic acid is formed and this will dissociate to form bicarbonate ions
