Acid rain is more acidic than normal rain and forms through a complex process of chemical reactions involving air pollution. The two most important pollutants that contribute to the formation of acid rain are oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide, which react with moisture in the atmosphere to form nitric and sulfuric acid. The sulfur and nitrogen compound that contribute to acid rain primarily come from manmade sources, such as industries and utilities. Emissions also come from automobiles and other forms of transportation and industrial processes, such as smelting. Acid rain can harm forests and crops, damage bodies of water, and contribute to the damage of statues and buildings. Researchers are considering the possible effects of acid rain on human health. These acidic pollutants can be deposited through rain, snow, fog, dew, or sleet. Large quantities can also be deposited in a dry form through dust. Pollutants that contribute to acid rain may be carried hundreds of miles before being deposited on the earth. Because of this, it is sometimes difficult to determine the specific sources of these acid rain pollutants.
What else can I help you with?
Why does acid rain have a lower pH level the normal rainwater?
Acid rain has a lower pH level than normal rainwater because it contains higher concentrations of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form strong acids, such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid, lowering the pH of the rainwater.
Would a strong acid have a lower pH level than a weak acid?
yes a strong acid would have a lower ph level
What to eat for a patient with a above normal uric acid level?
I need the normal chart of diet to make normal uric acid level
Is 8.1 uric acid is normal to men?
uric acid 7.3 is not normal an it's little high,uric acid level should be less than 6.5
What can be happened if uric acid level is 9.2?
please could you help, my uric acid level is 9.2 what steps to lower it?? many thanks
How can citric acid be used to effectively lower the pH level in a solution?
Citric acid can be used to lower the pH level in a solution by donating hydrogen ions, which increases the concentration of H ions in the solution. This increase in acidity helps to lower the pH level, making the solution more acidic.
How much acid do you need for pH level to drop?
Any amount of acid will lower pH. However, to lower it significantly or by a given amount we need to know the type of acid being used, the initial pH of the solution, and what buffers, if any, are present and in what concentration.
How does citric acid work to lower the pH level in a solution?
Citric acid works to lower the pH level in a solution by releasing hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. These hydrogen ions increase the concentration of H ions in the solution, making it more acidic and lowering the pH level.
How much citric acid should be added to effectively lower the pH level of a solution?
The amount of citric acid needed to lower the pH level of a solution depends on the initial pH level and the desired final pH level. It is recommended to use a pH meter or pH strips to monitor and adjust the pH level gradually, adding small amounts of citric acid at a time until the desired pH level is reached.
Can an acid increase the pH level of a solution?
No, the lower the PH level in the solution, under 7 (which is the neutral number) until 0, the higher the acid level. The higher the PH level in the solution is, over seven and until 14, the higher the base level.
What is the normal level of uric acid?
In male 2.5to 7.0mg/dl in female 1.5 to 6.0mg/dl
What is the pH of Minute Maid apple juice?
Regular Minute Maid orange juice has the same level of acidity as other brands of orange juice. Minute maid has developed a lower acid formula for those who desire or need lower acid level in their diet.
