Acid+Deposition



ACID RAIN - is rain water that is below the pH of 5.6. The prescence of carbon dioxide can from carbonic acids, and this causes acid rain which has a large impact on the environment.

Sulfur Oxides - sulfur comes from volcanoes, for sulfur containing ores for coal.



Nitrogen Oxides - nitrogen oxides come from lightning storms and burning petrol.



EFFECTS OF ACID RAIN

Stone and Limestone buildings are damaged, corroded. Aquatic life is affected by decrease in pH. Plants don't grow As well Acidic water can cause increases in metal ion concentration of the water. This can lead to alzheimers.

WHAT IS AMMONIA DOING HERE?? WELL, there are lots of trace amounts of ammonia lurking around on earth. USUALLY when ammonia reacts with acid E>G> FROM ACID RAIN, it froms ammonia salt which is also acidic. This makes soil, water acid. Namely called nitrification.
