Sections 4.9- Acidification Lab
Acid Rain and Global Warming- 4.9
- Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, and hydrogen chloride- all create an acidic solution
- carbonic acid- dissolved carbon dioxide
- sulfur dioxide (volcanoes, industrial pollution)- acid rain (kills forests)
- Much of the coal we burn as fuel contains sulfur. it produces sulfur dioxide
- carbon dioxide is produced when you burn coal, oil, wood, and gasoline
Drinking water- 4.10
- people get their water form wells, rivers, and lakes
- the water traveled and dissolved minerals as well as fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides ect.
- sodium chloride and iron chloride affect the taste of water
- hard water- water that contains too much calcium carbonate
Sinkholes and limestone
- Limestone- soft and porous
- it is water soluble- carbonic acid
- Sinkholes are common in Florida because we have a lot of limestone
- We were covered by an ocean
Sulfuric Acid
- discovered in the 8th century by Alchemist/ Chemist
- used as - led acid batteries, fertilizers, steel industry (prevents rust), dried fruit
Magnesium
- Magnesium carbonate and acid- Carbon dioxide- dense gas
