What are the constituents responsible for the alkalinity of water?
Alkalinity measures the acid neutralizing capacity of the water. The main constituents that are responsible for this measurement are the acids, minerals, salts, and substances that are in the water. Acid rain and pollution are the two main contributors of these things.
Can it rain hydrochloric acid?
It is theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. The Acid in the sky is likely to react with other air molecules, neutralizing it, and possibly creating weaker acids. One would have to be on a planet where the natural atmosphere was already more acidic than hydrochloric acid.
Is acid rain a good or bad thing?
bad
What is the symbol for acid rain?
There is no symbol for acid rain.
Is NaOH 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.
What mineral formation would be most effective at neutralizing acid rain?
I suppose Chalk is one of the most effective. It reacts easily with acid, neutralizing it. It is readily available, and it is cheap, in other words very costeffective. It is not a dangerous compound and don't make poison in the process of neutralizing acid rain. Other minerals might be more effective (out of my knowledge) but will not be as readily available and cheap as chalk is.
What would be most effective in neutralizing acid rain - nitrogen oxygen calcium carbonate magnesium acitate or baking soda?
calcium carbonate
What is the common stage between acid rain and the water cycle?
what is the common stage between acid rain and water cycle
Cutting back on pollutants that cause acid rain is one solution to the problem of acidified lakes can you suggest another?
Add a neutralizing substance such as limestone
What mineral formations would be most effective at neutralizing acid rain nitrogen oxygen calcium carbonate magnesium acetate or baking soda?
acid rain is acidic. so a base like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can be used to neutralize it.
What do smog and acid rain have in common?
Smog produces acid rain by the simple fact that rain water (H2O) mixes with the various compounds in smog, which then produces acid rain. Various chemicals in smog produce different kinds of acid rain.
Is acid rain very common in grasslands?
yes it is vary common
Why is acid rain good?
acid rain can also be good because acid rain is caused fron acidic factory pollution and factorys provide jobs for many people. also we get alot of our things from factorys.
Explain why the lake resists changes in pH caused by acid rain?
Many lakes contain silt and other materials in suspension that naturally neutralize or buffer the impacts of acid rain. These components are more frequently encountered in lakes in areas of sedimentary soils, In northern areas (such as the Canadian shield) the waters are generally free of neutralizing materials and the acid rain impacts are more severe

Conclusion of acid rain?
Acid rain is acid rain.
