Document Summary
We look to continue our understanding of the impact industry has on interactions within ecosystems. We will focus on acid rain production by industry and its effects locally and globally within ecosystems. We will cover some industry based technology focused on reducing acid rain. We will touch on how we can repair acid rain damage and highlight the huge cost and time it takes to correct for our earlier mistakes as a species. The combination of the sulphur cycle and the nitrogen cycle. The production of acids from various components within the cycles. Acids: produce hydrogen (h+) ions in water, hcl > h+ + cl, often called electrolytes, turn litmus paper red, are opposite of bases > bases serve to remove protons. Everyday examples of acids can be seen with: citrus fruits (citric acid, vinegar (acetic acid, battery acid (for cars) Pure water (h2o) has the ability to ionize to: Wednesday, july 6, 2016: hydrogen ions (h+, hydroxide ions (oh-)
