Acid Rain
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Acid Rain is caused by pollution containing sulfur dioxide,
|
|
nitrogen oxide, and ozone ( SOý, NOx, and Oý ) is released into the air.
|
|
These chemicals are absorbed into clouds and results in Acid Presipitation
|
|
( Acid Rain, Acid Snow, Acid Hail, Acid Sleet ). When the chemicals aren't
|
|
absorbed into clouds, they can drift for miles and fall to the ground,
|
|
resulting in Acid Deposition, or dry deposition.
|
|
|
|
When Acid Rain falls into water it is mixed in with the normal
|
|
water and causes the pH of the entire body to be raised. Measurments on the
|
|
pH ( potential Hydrogen ) scale, rise exponentialy, thus, a lake with a pH
|
|
of 4 is ten times as acidic as a lake with a pH of 5, and a lake with a pH
|
|
of 3 is 100 times as acidic, After many rain falls of Acid rain, the pH of
|
|
a normal lake ( 5.8 ) to 4.
|
|
|
|
Acid Rain has been known to reach the acidicy of pH 2, ( battery
|
|
acid has a pH if 1 ) this is a drastic change, as normal rain is average pH
|
|
5.2.
|
|
|
|
Acid Rain can dissolve limestone and chalk, and corrodes outdoor
|
|
structures. Statues and monuments that are left unprotected can fall victim
|
|
to the unpredjudiced destruction of acid rain.
|
|
|
|
Acid Rain reacts to different types of soil and rocks in two ways.
|
|
1) Acid rain will dissolve alkaline rocks and soil, or will neutralize the
|
|
alkalinity.
|
|
|
|
2) Acid rain will increase the acidicy of already acidic rocks and soil,
|
|
such as granite, or the soil which results from corroded granite.
|
|
|
|
Acidic chemicals, and alkaline chemicals react to each other by
|
|
reducing the alkalinity or acidicy of each other. Which ever has the
|
|
strongest pH level, usually will neutralize or reduce the pH of the other,
|
|
but after the reaction is complete, both substances have undoubtably
|
|
changed, their pH moved closer to neutral ( pH 7 ). This knowledge led to
|
|
the use of Salting.
|
|
|
|
Salting ( dropping salt, chalk, or limestone into lakes and streams
|
|
) is a done to reduce the acidicy of the water, and neutralize the water,
|
|
counteracting the effects of the acid rain. This involves literally tonnes
|
|
of salt, and an Airplane with a bombay. This is only a temporary solution,
|
|
as putting salt into the water will not stop the acid from coming, it just
|
|
neutralizes what is already there.
