Document Summary
Describe the basic processes underlying the formation of acid deposition. Sulfur dioxide (so2) and nitrogen oxides (nox) are the major precursors of acid deposition. So2 under wet conditions give us sulfuric acid (h2so4) Wet deposition: is the deposition of acids that occurs when any form of precipitation (rain, snow, etc) removes acids from the atmosphere and delivers it to the earth"s surface. This can result from the deposition of acids produced in the raindrops or by the precipitation removing the acids either in clouds or below clouds. Dry deposition: is deposition that occurs in the absence of precipitation. This can be responsible for as much as 20 to 60% of total acid deposition. This occurs when particles and gases stick to the ground, plants or other surfaces. What is the ph of a lemonade with h+ concentration of 0. 075 moles per litre. Transportation: provide examples and the role of the buffering agents of acid deposition.
