Chemistry Question- Acid Precipitation

Chemistry question- acid precipitation?

Acid precipitation is the term generally used to describe rain or snow that is more acidic than normal. One cause of acid precipitation is the formation of sulfuric and nitric acids from various sulfur and nitrogen oxides produced in volcanic eruptions, forest fires, and thunderstorms. In a typical volcanic eruption, for example, 3.50×10^8kg of SO2 may be produced. If this amount of SO2 were converted to H2SO4 according to the two-step process given below, how much H2SO4 would be produced from such an eruption?
SO2 +1/2O2 −→ SO3
SO3 + H2O −→ H2SO4
Answer in units of kg
Thank you and an explanation would be very nice

Conceptual Chemistry Question About Acids?

marble = CaCO3

Acid rain contains HNO3

CaCO3 + 2HNO3 >>> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O + CO2

What causes acid precipitation?

When it loses its solubility in the solvent.  One example i am aware of is sulfamic acid.  It has very little solubility in water so,  we can get precipitation easily by playing eoth temperature.  Sulfamic acid= NH2-SO3Hhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

What's the difference between acid base reactions, precipitate reactions, and redox reactions?

Acid-Base Reactions: When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt.For example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2OPrecipitate Reactions: Precipitates form when two soluble salts react in solution to form one or more insoluble products. The insoluble product separates from the liquid and is called a precipitate.For example: AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl↓ + NaNO3(aq)Redox (short for reduction–oxidation reaction) is a chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Any such reaction involves both a reduction process and a complementary oxidation process, two key concepts involved with electron transfer processes.A good example is the reaction between hydrogen and fluorine in which hydrogen is being oxidized and fluorine is being reduced:H2 + F2 → 2 HF

Acid Rain Chemical Equation?

This was a two part question, i answered the first part.. found from the textbook. but i am slightly confused with the second part (b).

What two groups of compounds are largely responsible for casuing acid precipitation?
The two groups of compounds thate are largely responsible for causing acid precipitation are sulfur dioxide and nitrogn oxides.

b) Write a chemical equation(s) to illustrate how one of these compounds reacts to produce acid precipitation.

Research Questions Acid Rain?

One: what is the chemical composition / components of acid rain. ( one major component is sulfuric acid)
Two: what is the pH of acid rain.
Three: what are the detrimental effects of acid rain and how does the chemistry relate to what is in it.

Chemistry help...?

help please!! thank you =)


Acid rain is a problem in industrialized countries around the world. Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen are formed when various fuels are burned. These oxides dissolve in atmospheric water droplets that fall to earth as acid rain or acid snow.

While normal rain has a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 due to the presence of dissolved carbon dioxide, acid rain often has a pH of 4.0 or lower. This level of acidity can damage trees and plants, leach minerals from the soil, and cause the death of aquatic animals and plants.

If the pH of the soil is too low, then quicklime, CaO, can be added to the soil to increase the pH. Quicklime produces calcium hydroxide when it dissolves in water.

Samples of acid rain are brought to a laboratory for analysis. Several titrations are performed and it is determined that a 20.0-milliliter sample of acid rain is neutralized with 6.50 milliliters of 0.010 M NaOH.


The molarity of the H+ ions in the acid rain is ___?___10^-3 M.

Chemistry Homework Question: During salt analysis, the medium is made acidic in the precipitation of sulphides of group II due to what reason?

Your question is a little bit badly worded...In any case, I think what you're trying to ask is why does the solution become more acidic when you precipitate S2- (e.g. in the form of MgS).If so, it is because S2- ion is basic in a water solution.  It forms hydroxide ion and SH- in equilibrium with H2O.  If you remove S2- from solution by precipitation, then the solution will become more acidic (less basic).S2− + H2O SH− + OH−(sorry the formatting is messed up)So it's #2 in your list.
