The average acid rain fall is not very acidic. Acid rain really erodes carbonate rocks, impairs the ionic structure of soil, dissolves minerals from rocks and impairsthe egg viability of fish and ampbibians. The average acid rain pH is about 4.2 to 4.8, somewhat more acidic than bananas and less acidic than orange juice. Normal (clean) rain has a pH of more than 4about 5.6 because of atmospheric CO2 dissolved in it.
According to Britannica Concise Encyclopedia:
The highly acidic precipitation from these clouds may contaminate lakes and streams, damaging fish and other aquatic species; damage vegetation, including agricultural crops and trees; and corrode the outsides of buildings and other structures (historic monuments are especially vulnerable).
According to Sci-Tech encyclopedia:
The effect of acid deposition on a particular ecosystemhttp://www.answers.com/topic/ecosystems-1 depends largely on its acid sensitivity, its acid neutralization capability, the concentration and composition of acid reaction products, and the amount of acid added to the system. As an example, the major factors influencing the impact of acidic deposition on lakes and streams are (1) the amount of acid deposited; (2) the pathwayhttp://www.answers.com/topic/pathway and travel time from the point of deposition to the lake or stream; (3) the buffering characteristics of the soil through which the acidic solution moves; (4) the nature and amount of acid reaction products in soil drainage and from sediments; and (5) the buffering capacity of the lake or stream.
disadvantages of acid rain: 1. can cause health problems 2. can kill nature 3. can kill animals and their habitats 4. its bad for their environment
It leads to harmful diseases such as cancer,also it somehow involved to the increase of global warming.
there are none it just kills everything
killing of plant life.
it is bad 4 the enviroment:0)
lots of things
There is no symbol for acid rain.
No. NaOH is sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base, not an acid, and is not found in rain. Acid rain is rain that is unusually acidic due to the presence of nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Acid rain is still mostly water.
Acid Rain is a mixture.
Sulphur Dioxide causes rain to become more acidic which makes acid rain.
Acid rain eats away marble. Many ancient buildings are ruined by acid rain.
There is none. Acid rain is bad
There are NO advantages in acid rain. Acid rain has dissolved the harmful fumes from factory and vehicle pollution to turn neutral rain into acid. This acid then damages plants, animals, landscapes and buildings as it falls to earth.
if acid rain stops then we will be having many advantages like, 1) tajmahal will gradually stop loosing its beauty. 2)skin cancers and dieases will be prevented
Acid rain is acid rain.
rain with acid
Yes, Acid rain is rain with higher than normal levels of nitric and sulfuric acid.
carbonic acid rain and sulfuric acid rain
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
by sulfuric acid
no, the acid haven't rain it
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
no, not really. acid rain has pollutants in it, but acid rain itself is not a pollutant
