1. Acid Rain
Acid rain by definition in the Chemistry book states: "Rainwater that has become excessively acidic because of absorption of pollutant oxides, notably SO3, produced by human activities"(1). ... These excess oxides are found from Colorado, to West Virginia, to Los Angeles, and most likely everywhere else in this world. Using natural gas can help to reduce the sulfur oxide emissions. ... These reactions between water and sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides go as follows: SO2(g) + 2H2O(l) 2H+(aq) + SO43-(aq) + H2(g) SO2(g) + H2O(l) H2SO3 2NOX(g) + H20(l) 2H+ + 2NO3- The sul...
