ESSENTIAL IDEAIncreased industrialization has led to greater
production of nitrogen and sulfur oxides leading to acid rain, which is damaging our environment.
These problems can be reduced through collaboration with national and
intergovernmental organizations.NATURE OF SCIENCE (4.8)
Risks and problems – oxides of metals and non-metals can be characterized by their acid-base properties. Acid deposition is a topic that can be
discussed from different perspectives. Chemistry allows us to understand and to reduce the environmental impact of human activities.

INTERNATIONAL-MINDEDNESS
The polluter country and the polluted country are often not the same. Acid deposition is a
secondary pollutant that affects regions far from the primary source. Solving this problem
requires international cooperation.

THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE
All rain is acidic but not all rain is “acid rain”. Scientific terms have a precise definition. Does scientific
vocabulary communicate our knowledge in a neutral way or can it
have value-laden terminology?
![Page 5: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
UNDERSTANDING/KEY IDEA 8.5.A
Rain is naturally acidic because of dissolved CO2 and has a pH of 5.6. Acid deposition has a pH below 5.6.
![Page 6: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
■ All rain water is naturally acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide which dissolves in water to produce carbonic acid, a weak acid.
■ The pH of rain water is 5.6.
H2O(l) + CO2(g) → H2CO3(aq)
![Page 7: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ACID RAIN■ Acid rain refers to solutions with pH’s lower
than 5.6, thus it must contain additional acids.
■ Acid rain is a secondary pollutant produced when the acidic gases of primary pollutants dissolve in water.
■ Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen are primary pollutants and are the main contributors of acid rain.
![Page 8: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ACID DEPOSITION■ Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and
refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the atmosphere and fall to earth.
■ Two types of acid deposition:■ 1. Wet deposition – rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog, mist
and dew fall to the ground as aqueous precipitates.■ 2. Dry deposition – acidifying particles, gases fall to
the ground as dust and smoke, later dissolving in water to form acids.

UNDERSTANDING/KEY IDEA 8.3.B
Acid deposition is formed when nitrogen or sulfur oxides dissolve in water to form HNO3, HNO2, H2SO4 and H2SO3.
![Page 10: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

SULFUR OXIDES■ Sulfur dioxide is a colorless gas with a
sharp smell. It dissolves in water to form sulfurous acid.
S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g)
SO2(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO3(aq)
![Page 14: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
■ Sulfur dioxide can be oxidized to form sulfur trioxide which then dissolves in water to form sulfuric acid.2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)
SO3(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO4(aq)
![Page 15: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
■ The mechanisms can be complex in these reactions.
■ When water reacts with atomic oxygen or ozone, the hydroxyl radical can form (.OH).
■ .OH + SO2 → .OHSO2 ■ .OHSO2 + O2 → .HO2 + SO3
![Page 16: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
NITROGEN OXIDES■ Heat energy causes nitrogen and oxygen to
combine to form nitrogen monoxide.■ N2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO(g)■ Nitrogen dioxide, a brown gas is formed by:■ 1. N2(g) + 2O2(g) → 2NO2(g)■ 2. 2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g)
![Page 17: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
■ Nitrogen dioxide dissolves in water to form a mixture of nitrous acid and nitric acid.
■ 2NO2(g) + H2O(l) → HNO2(aq) + HNO3(aq)■ Nitrogen dioxide can be oxidized to form
nitric acid.■ 4NO2(g) + 2H2O(l) + O2(g) → 4HNO3(aq)

■ The mechanisms are also complex in these reactions.
■ Photo-oxidation, the presence of ozone and the hydroxyl radical can contribute to the production of nitrous and nitric acid.
■ .OH + NO → HNO2■ .OH + NO2 → HNO3

UNDERSTANDING/KEY IDEA 8.3.C
Sources of the oxides of sulfur and nitrogen and the effects of acid deposition should be covered.
![Page 20: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SOURCES OF THE ACIDIC OXIDES■ Sulfur dioxide is produced from the burning
of fossil fuels particularly coal and heavy oil in power plants used to generate electricity.
■ It is also produced from metal smelting (extracting metals from their ores).
■ 50% of sulfur dioxide comes from coal.■ Nitrogen monoxide is produced mainly from
internal combustion engines.
![Page 21: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
EFFECTS OF ACID DEPOSITION■ Impact on Materials
■ Marble and Limestone are forms of calcium carbonate.
■ Sulfur dioxide in dry deposition and sulfuric acid in acid rain react with CaCO3 to form CaSO4.
■ Calcium sulfate is more soluble than calcium carbonate causing washout and it has a greater molar volume causing expansion and stress in the stonework.
■ A similar reaction with nitric acid forms a soluble nitrate salt causing washout.
![Page 22: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
APPLICATIONS/SKILLS
Be able to deduce acid deposition equations for acid deposition with reactive metals and carbonates.
![Page 23: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
■ Acid deposition also affects metals, causing corrosion.■ Components of both dry deposition and acid rain react
with metals such as iron to form a metallic salt.■ The metallic salt enables ionic conductivity which leads
to higher electrochemical corrosion.■ Acid rain also reacts with and removes the protective
oxide layer on metals which can cause significant damage to metallic structures such as bridges and vehicles.

CARBONATE REACTIONS■ These reactions lead to erosion of
structures, historic buildings and statues.■ 2CaCO3(s) + 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2CaSO4(aq) + 2CO2(g)■ CaCO3(s) + H2SO4(aq) → CaSO4(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
■ CaCO3(s) + 2HNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
![Page 25: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
METAL REACTIONS■ Fe(s) + SO2(g) + O2(g) → FeSO4(aq) ■ Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + H2 (g)
■ Al2O3(s) + 6HNO3(aq) → Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3H2O(l)

MORE EFFECTS OF ACID DEPOSITION■ Impact on plant life
■ Acid rain causes damage to plant life.■ It leaches away the minerals Mg2+, Ca2+ and K+
before they can be absorbed by plants.■ It releases ions such as Al3+ which is toxic to
plants damaging plant roots.■ Dry deposition blocks the pores for gas exchange
in plants.
![Page 27: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
■ Impact on water■ Acid rain has caused numerous lakes to become
“dead”.■ Many fish cannot survive below pH’s below 5.■ Toxic Al3+ ions leach out at pH’s below 4 which
interferes with the operation of the gills of fish.■ It also causes eutrophication caused by the
nitrates in acid rain. This over-fertilization results in algae blooms leading to oxygen depletion.
![Page 28: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
■ Impact on Human Health■ Acid rain does not directly affect human health.■ However, it’s components react to form fine
sulfate and nitrate particles that can travel long distances and can be inhaled.
■ These particles irritate the respiratory tract and increase the risk of asthma, bronchitis and emphysema.
■ Released heavy metal ions can also pose a health risk.

REDUCTION OF SO2 EMISSIONS■ Pre-combustion methods
■ Processes which reduce or remove sulfur in coal or oil before combustion.
■ Metal sulfides can be removed by crushing and washing.
■ Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) – reacts sulfur to form H2S which is captured and later used to produce sulfuric acid.
![Page 31: TOPIC 8 ACIDS AND BASES · ACID DEPOSITION Acid deposition is a broader term than acid rain and refers to all process by which acidic components as precipitates or gases leave the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042923/5f70f3c78908a96f45306af9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
REDUCTION OF SO2 EMISSIONS■ Post-combustion methods
■ Flue-gas desulfurization – removes up to 90% of SO2 from flue gas before it reaches the atmosphere.

REDUCTION OF NOx EMISSIONS■ Catalytic converters in vehicles
■ Process by which the catalytic converter installed on cars converts toxic emissions into relatively harmless products such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
■ Lower temperature combustion■ Recirculate exhaust gases back into the engine
which lowers the temperature and reduces the nitrogen monoxide in the emissions.
