How Acid Rain Affects the Aquatic Ecosystem Abstract This paper shows that acid rain is a reality. It is destroying our freshwater ecosystems and must be stopped in order to save them. If the problem is not fixed soon the aquatic ecosystems will be destroyed. Table of Contents 1. What is acid rain? 2. Acidification of Freshwater 3. Effects of Freshwater Acidification 4. Where is Affected the most? 5. What is being done to fix it? 6. Conclusion 7. References What is

Precipitation or Acid Rain Our atmosphere functions as living ecosystem of chemical reactions. Through the help of the water cycle, chemicals pass through the atmosphere and are eventually taken up by the soil, surface water, or organic materials. Human beings have added enormously to the atmospheric burden of many toxic substances. The most prominent evidence of this is the presence of acid rain: precipitation and particles that have been made acidic by air pollution. Acid rain is a direct

As the Port Pirie smelter continues to produce refined lead, copper, and gold, amongst other metals, concern has been raised regarding the emissions and their immediate effect on the population and the surrounding environment (Zinifex Limited, 2007). This establishment is the largest operating lead smelter in the world with a total of 747 employees (Portpirietransformation.com, 2016). Due to its location on the shore of the Spencer Gulf, the adjacent port, ships in unrefined ores from around the

Matter, and that the predicted volume of acid needed to completely react with barium hydroxide would be 12.5 mL. This hypothesis has been proven in that the results do coincide with the Law of Conservation of Matter to show a 1:1 ratio between barium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. However, the volume needed to completely react with the barium hydroxide was about half that of the predicted. The balanced chemical equation between barium hydroxide and sulfuric acid yields an equation that indicates 1 mol

2014 Reducing Acid Rain through Mining and Smelting Industries http://miningandacidrain.weebly.com What is Acid Rain? Acid rain is rain that has been made acidic by certain pollutants in the air and has low pH levels that can harm the environment. It is a type of acid deposition that can appear in many forms such as, wet deposition, which can be rain, sleet snow or fog that is more acidic than normal, and dry deposition, where gases and dust particles become acidic. (Epa.gov) Acid deposition in wet

starts with H, it is an acid. Use the naming acids rules. * If the compound starts with C and contains quite a few H’s and perhaps some O’s, it is organic. Use the naming organic compounds rules. * If the compound starts with a metal, it is most likely ionic. Use the naming binary ionic compounds rules. * If the compound starts with a nonmetal other than H or C, use the naming binary molecular compounds rules. It is also essential that

Introduction The purpose of the “Cubatao Phosphoric Acid” company is production of phosphoric acid via hemi-dihydrate (HDH) wet process and sale of the products to various fertilizer manufacturing companies. Report summarizes description and mass balance of the process, investigation of economic and marketing issues, process and personal safety, social, economic and environmental sustainability of the process. Phosphoric acid, also known as orthophosphoric acid, is inorganic compound having chemical formula

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Abstract: This procedure demonstrates the nitration of methyl benzoate to prepare methyl m-nitrobenzoate. Methyl benzoate was treated with concentrated Nitric and Sulfuric acid to yield methyl m-nitrobenzoate. The product was then isolated and recrystallized using methanol. This reaction is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, in which the nitro group replaces a proton of the aromatic ring. Following recrystallization, melting point and infrared

damage if the power of hydrogen (pH) is lowered making it acid rain, this was a problem in Quebec. Quebec is one of the places hit the hardest because the water and soil is not strong enough to neutralize the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. At the time America was industrializing, creating coal-burning power plants and increasing the use of motor vehicles. This was great until the sulfuric smoke was going into the atmosphere causing acid rain in Quebec. To further understand Quebec’s environmental

ABSTRACT This report is written to explain about acid rain in detail which is one of the hazardous effects of industrialization around the planet. The main causes and their contribution in increasing this curse for flora, fauna and humans. Further, this report describes various factors and it scrutinises the data not only of its adverse effect but also of gases’ amount which consequently make acid rain with water molecules. At the end, report ends up explaining methods to control this and solutions
