What occurs when the air pressure in the lungs is higher than in the atmosphere?

When the air pressure in the lungs is higher than in the atmosphere, air will flow out of the lungs to equalize the pressure. This is called exhalation. It allows the body to get rid of carbon dioxide and regulate oxygen levels.


What role does calcium carbonate act to prevent acid rain?

CaCo3 is a base, so it neutralizes acids. Thus, CaCo3 can neutralize acids in acid rain. For example, CaCo3 will neutralize HCl by the following equation: 2HCl(aq) +CaCO3(aq) reacts to form CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) This gets rid of the acids and makes the acid rain safe for organisms.


How can sulfur be helpful to humans?

Sulfur is a macro mineral that you will find in all the cells of the body. It plays an important part of many biochemical reaction like in the synthesis of protein and enzyme reactions. It also plays an important part in the protection of joints. As well as this it maintains the balance of oxygen in the body and keeps skin, hair and nails healthy. Another thing, is that it plays a rather important role in producing collagen, a type of protein found in connective tissue, keratin and hair. Sulfur is also used to treat skin diseases, rheumatism, gout, bronchitis and prevents constipation.


How is carbon dioxide harmful?

People and all animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Their bodies are designed to breathe at a certain rate in order to eliminate carbon dioxide. If they are in an area high in carbon dioxide, they will breathe at an extremely rapid rate to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide even though there is enough oxygen. Many scientists think the high level of carbon dioxide is the major cause of the ocean becoming more acidic. Carbon dioxide becomes a weak acid when mixed with water. The western world emits a tremendous amount of carbon dioxide. Other scientists think the major cause of oceanic acidity is the tremendous amount of sulfuric acid thrown into the atmosphere by the factories of India and China. Sulfuric acid is a powerful acid. Probably both contribute and with the tremendous amount of sewage and fertilizer poured into the ocean are causing ocean acidity resulting in the death of many coral reefs and before long will cause the decline of the shell fish industry. Your grandchildren will ask you, "What were oysters?"


When intraalveolar pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure what happens?

If intraalveolar pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure, air will flow out of the lungs due to the pressure gradient. This process is known as exhalation or expiration. It allows the lungs to get rid of carbon dioxide and regulate the levels of gases in the body.

Why is acid rain acidic?

All plants and animals must have sulphur. Coal and oil are made from old plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They contain sulphur. Refineries can remove most of the sulphur from most of the oil turned into fuel oil or gasoline. Refineries, factories and power plants can remove the sulphur dioxide from their smokestacks. Frequently they do not. When they do not, the sulphur dioxide turns into sulphur trioxide. The Sulphur trioxide then when the sulphur trioxide runs into a cloud or a drop of water, it turns into sulphuric acid. When it falls to earth, it falls as acid rain. Acid rain is sulphuric acid falling to earth. In North Florida the rain accompanying the first cold front of the fall changed the pH of a swimming pool from 8 to 4. That indicates the amount of acid in the air over the Midwest and Midsouth of the United States. Right now technology exists to rid smokestacks of sulphuric acid.
