in atmostphere there is oxides of sulphur and nitrogen which makes atmosphere acidic , and when rains these oxides are getting mixed in it and when these rain droplets fall in lake it makes lake's water acidic.
Acid rain becomes "acid" rain as it dissolves gases from the atmosphere that form acid solutions. Normal rain is slightly acidic, but acid rain is somewhat more so. Since lakes are filled by the runoff from rain and other precipitation (like snow and sleet) you would expect that if the source was acid, the lake would be to. Rain in a forest washes leaves, where it may pick up deposits of acidic dusts from man-made sources and falls through the trees to the forest floor below. Some trickles over the ground and runs into streams, rivers, or lakes, and some of the water soaks into the soil. That soil may neutralize some or all of the acidity of the acid rainwater. This ability is called buffering capacity, and without it, soils become more acidic. Differences in soil buffering capacity are an important reason why some areas that receive acid rain show a lot of damage, while other areas that receive about the same amount of acid rain do not appear to be harmed at all. The ability of forest soils to resist, or buffer, acidity depends on the thickness and composition of the soil, as well as the type of bedrock beneath the forest floor. Midwestern states like Nebraska and Indiana have soils that are well buffered. Places in the mountainous northeast, like New York's Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, have thin soils with low buffering capacity. They also have naturally acid soils that would acidify the lakes even without acid rain helping out.
It is important to note however than many lakes that are acidic are actually that way primarily due to the acidification of the runoff as it passes through acidic organic matter (like pine needles) rather than due to acid rain. In the last 10 or 20 years scientists have discovered that many lakes that are becoming more acidic are actually returning to the natural state they were in prior to humans moving into the area, burning trees and other plants and creating alkaline runoff that neutralized the naturally acidic lakes. Other lakes are acidic because the rocks through which the water percolates contain acidifying components - so the water not only becomes "hard" as it dissolves part of the rocks, it sometimes also becomes acidic.
SeO3 would be acidic, tending to make selenic acid H2SeO4
Acid rain forms when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fossil fuels mix with rainwater. When this acidic rainwater falls into lakes, it lowers the pH of the water, making it more acidic. This can harm aquatic life in the lake by disrupting their delicate pH balance.
acid rain can make water so acidic that many plants and animals no longer live in it
The pollutants in air make rain water acidic. Rain water, containing acid reaches everywhere .
To make water acidic, one can add an acid such as vinegar or lemon juice. Acids release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, lowering the pH level and making the water more acidic.
To make acidic water at home, you can add a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar to a glass of water. These substances contain citric acid and acetic acid, which will lower the pH of the water, making it acidic. Be cautious not to add too much, as excessive acidity can be harmful.
Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water to form sulfurous acid, which is a weak acid. This acid ionizes in water, releasing hydrogen ions that make the solution acidic. The equation for the reaction is: SO2 + H2O → H2SO3.
When solid citric acid dissolves in water, it releases hydrogen ions, which make the solution acidic. Citric acid is a weak organic acid that contributes to the sour taste of citrus fruits and is commonly used as a food additive for its acidic properties.
Yes, HBr is a strong acid. When it dissolves in water, it releases hydrogen ions (H+) which make it acidic.
Hydrochloric acid is a commonly known poisonous substance that dissolves in water to create an acidic solution.
Two pollutants found in air that can make rain water more acidic are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants can react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground in the form of acid rain.
because there are more Carbonic acid on the air at night (from the trees) and it is solved in water and make it acidic.
