Document Summary
Can remove hair, etc. from clogged drains because they dissolve tissue i. ii. Moving from ph 4 to 5 is a 10-fold difference in hydronium ions. Not seeing as much acid in west: something in environment helping sustain rainfall, not seeing a lot of industrial output, but rather farm/cattle/ranches, three acids mainly contribute to acid rain, carbonic acid from carbon dioxide (cid:840)co2(cid:841) Been around forever i: )eak acid, gets rainwater down to ph 5 iii, sulfuric acid from sulfur dioxide (cid:840)so2(cid:841) i. i, nitric acid from nitric oxide (cid:840)no(cid:841). Cars produce nox, engine heat i. i. i. Natural and anthropogenic sources. ii: this reaction happens in engine, take n2 out of the air, that gets reacted with oxygen, reacts further to form acid rain. Impacts of acid rain: acidic precipitation readily corrodes building materials and monuments made of. Corrodes the roots, which is the main energy uptake/water supply system. Atmospheric visibility : acid rain impairs i. i. ii.
