reduction and oxidation reactions, and the excitement of electrons. Fireworks have been popular for an immensely long time. Fireworks were invented in the 12th century by the chinese. A alchemist accidentally discovered black powder by mixing sulfur, potassium nitrate, and charcoal (form of carbon). He soon realized that this combination of elements was extremely flammable and explosive. Black powder was then later placed inside a bamboo stick which was then launched in the sky and was a sign
Sulfur Sulfur symbol is “S”. Sulfur was discovered in 1777. It’s been known since ancient times. A nonmetal, sulfur is the 10th most abundant element in the universe. Sulfur makes up almost 3 percent of the Earth's mass. This bright yellow element, known in the Bible as "brimstone," is abundant in nature, and was used for a variety of purposes in ancient times. Pure sulfur has no smell. The stink associated with the element comes from many of its compounds. Sulfur atomic number is sixteen. Its
ACID DEPOSITION AND ACID RAIN: Acid deposition is caused by acidic particles and gases that deposit or fall to the Earth. Acid deposition can be wet or dry. Wet deposition is deposition of acidic gases such as oxides of sulfur and nitrogen and acidic particles brought down as precipitation by rain, fog and snow. Dry deposition is dry deposition of acidic gases in the absence of rain or precipitation. Acidity is measured using a scale called the pH scale. This scale goes from 0 to 14. 0 is the most
Arsenopyrite was discovered by G. Agricola of Germany in 1546 (Reciprocal Net), it is a arsenic ore and has the chemical formula FeAsS, meaning it contains iron, arsenic, and sulfur. The molecular weight of it is 162.83 gm and contains about 34.30% Fe, 46.01% As, and 19.69% S as its main components (David B.). The general physical description of Arsenopyrite can be depicted as a light steel gray or tin white, opaque, and non-florescent . If formed as the crystal, the hardness of those crystals is

Science Feb 22nd, 2023 Outline I. Introduction: What is sulfur and what is it used for? Thesis: Sulfur is a periodic element with the symbol of S. II. Sulfur is located in period three in group 6 on the periodic table. Group 16 is a group of elements that are known as the chalcogens or oxygen group. Sulfur has sixteen electrons and sixteen protons with a six valence in its outer shell, and it can be classified as a nonmetal, not to mention that sulfur is the tenth most abundant element in the universe
1. List some sources of acid rain. Acid rain is made by a chemical reaction that starts with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which is the main cause for the harmful effects of acid rain released in the air. These compounds get into the atmosphere where they get mixed and start to react with oxygen, water and other different chemicals to make acid rain. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide both can dissolve in water. I personally feel that it is because of humans acid rain is so harmful. Over the
negative effects on natural environments such as aquatic life, plants, and infrastructure. The pollutants that taint rainfall is caused by the constant burning of coal and other fossil fuels, such as gas. The pollutants that are found in acid rain are sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Acidic substances can also fall from the sky in forms other than rainfall, such as snow and hail, and can also collect on the ground, as dust or fog, and can penetrate into soil. Acid rain is extremely detrimental to
H2CO3 The carbonic acid molecules immediately dissociate in water to form hydrogen carbonate ions: HCO3−, and hydronium ions, H3O+: H2CO3 + H2O → HCO3− + H3O+ The deposition of acid like sulfuric and sulfurous make rain water acidic this is from the sulfur
INTRODUCTION Acid rain or also known as acid deposition are divided into two that is wet deposition and dry deposition. Wet deposition is what always be called as acid rain. Acid rain is a term that any form of precipitation with acidic component, such as sulphuric or nitric acid. Example of acid rain form were rain, snow, fog, hail or even dust that is acidic. Acid rain occur when sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents
Project 1: Calorimetry CHM2046L-029 24920 Introduction Background Calorimetry is a method of measuring the enthalpy (heat energy gained or released) of various state changes, such as chemical reactions. Calorimetry can also be used in a number of other ways, however, including in microbiology (where the presence of various microorganisms can be determined as their multiplication increases thermal power) and in environmental science (where a calorimeter can be used to determine insect
Acid Rain is a form of precipitation that has high levels of hydrogen ions, and minimum ph. Acid rain can be harmful to plants and animals. The terrible chemicals in acid rain is sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which happens when molecules of water in the atmosphere to make acids. The chemicals in acid rain can peel paint from cars and cause corrosion. acid rain is incredibly power and terrible for our eco system. Pollution from our world is the cause from all acid rain. Three things acid rains
Sulphur dioxide is a colourless gas with a nasty smell. It reacts with other substance easily to form wet deposition and also dry deposition such as sulphuric acid and sulphate particles. Sulphur dioxide can be produced naturally and also by human activities. Volcanic eruptions release a large amount of sulphur dioxide into the air. One time of volcanic eruption that release sulphur dioxide into the air is enough to causes climate change. Besides, hot spring will also emit sulphur dioxide into the
Margaret Atwood's novel, Oryx and Crake is a fictional novel which portrays a world where over consuming and environmental negligence has led to the destruction of ecosystems and the species which live within. It is believed that her novels are often written in response to what she observes in our current world, and although Oryx and Crake depict a post apocalyptic world after the full effects of climate change are felt it is not completely unlikely that our world could transform into a similar state

wet deposition is when it rains, polluting the trees and lakes. Acid rain is a result of two different sources; first is natural sources, such as decaying vegetation and volcanoes, and man-made sources, which basically consists of the formation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Acid rain causes lake pollution and acidification, which would later also lead to the damage of trees and many different forest
germination(bean seeds) Hypothesis The bean seeds being watered with acid rain will begin to dry up, lose colour, start cracking and stop growing Aim To test whether acid rain will have an effect on seedling germination Introduction When sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides incorporate into rain, snow or mist, the result is acid precipitation. Acid rain is particularly deadly to green growing things, impacting forest health, farmers' livelihood and the world's precious food supply. Diminished
War poetry is, simply put, poetry that deals with the subject of war. Often composed during a particular conflict, these poems are usually written by soldiers. However, nurses and doctors in military hospitals, and even war correspondents have written war poetry. In general, the authors are all people who have seen what really happens on the battlefield with their own eyes. Although people have been writing verses about war for thousands of years, war poetry differs considerably from previous
The buzzing of the chainsaw blares throughout the Amazon Rainforest; birds flock to the sky, tigers dash away, scared for their safety and home as the chainsaw is destroying it. The chainsaw slices through the rough, brown exterior of the trees, one by one leaving none standing. Brazil used to have the highest deforestation rate, although the rate has gone down, it is still occurring in Brazil. As stated in the article “17 Important Pros and Cons of deforestation”, from Green Garage, it clarifies
Tracking Down Acid Rain and Precipitation Acid Rain with types of precipitation involves a high levels of Sulfur and Nitrogen. One way it can be created is by the vehicle's interior combustion. The smoke exiting the from the back part vehicles exhaust is nitric, and the sulfur is fossil fuel combustion and found in rock and minerals. If they both mix with each other is will leads to toxins air. The nitrogen is a type of “Important industrial gas and an element that is essential to all life.” like
