4.9 Acidification & two gases lab
Notes
Acid Rain Notes:
Gasses dissolve in our atmosphere:
Co2; Sulfuric Acid; & Hydrogen Chloride --> create an acid solution
Carbonic acid dissolves Co2 (happens naturally)(Co2 always falls when rain falls)
Sulfur dioxide is "Acid rain" (acid rain kills and pollutes water[river; lake; pond; stream])
Sulfur dioxide comes from: Volcanoes, industrial pollution, & geysers
Limestone
Florida has aquifer underground

33. [2.5x10 negative 3/ 100cm3 = m/ 2000][ 0.0025/100cm3 =m/2000]
(m=0.05/day) (m=18.25 years)
34. This would be a problem because a large portion of drinking water has acid, and if there were laws passed that forbade acid from being in drinking water, many people would die because of lack of water.
35. Desert was once an ocean. There was no rain to was away/ dissolve solids at surface
Hard Water
More minerals in mountain areas because snow and rain build up in winter and spring months, and then that water comes down the mountain, into lakes, rivers, and streams, where that water is then distributed out to local people. The minerals that remain in the water the whole time cause water to be hard water.
Sinkhole notes
Limestone is frequent across Florida
Water underground is in caves and fresh (aquifers)
Florida was once an Ocean, which makes the ground soft
There are Calcium deposits (dead animals)
