  1. Acid Rain • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc6j7zz1_do&feature=related

  2. Acid Rain WALT - be able to state how acid rain is formed, and write a word equation to show this reaction. be able to predict the effect of acid rain on living material and carry out an experiment to test this prediction.

  3. Where does acid rain come from?

  4. S S S S S S S S O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O Pollutants from fossil fuels

  5. S S S S S S S S ACID RAIN ACID RAIN ACID RAIN ACID RAIN O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O SULFURIC ACID

  6. ACID RAIN WORD EQUATION Sulfur dioxide + water  → Sulfuric acid

  7. Experiment You are going to investigate how acid rain affects the growth of cress seedlings. Decide what things must be controlled (kept the same) in order for this to be a fair test.

  8. Other pollutants Unburnt carbon and other particulates have been linked to asthma and cancer. High temperatures, such as those in a car engine, can allow nitrogen to react with oxygen to form poisonous nitrogen oxides which can also damage lungs and cause acid rain.

  9. Acid Rain: Sources of acid rain 1. What fuel is burned in a power station? • __________________________ 2. Where is this fuel from? __________________________ 3. Why is this fuel burned in a power station? ________________________________________ 4. What gas is produced when coal is burned in a power station? ________________________________________ 5. What gases is produced when fuel is burned in cars? ________________________________________

  10. Acid Rain: Sources of acid rain 1. What fuel is burned in a power station? • Coal / Oil 2. Where is this fuel from? Mined from under the ground 3. Why is this fuel burned in a power station? • To generate electricity 4. What gas is produced when coal is burned in a power station? • Sulphur Dioxide 5. What gases are produced when fuel is burned in cars? • Nitrogen oxides

  11. Formation of acid rain 6. What reaction occurs when Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides react with water in rain clouds? Hint : Oxygen is added • ________________________________________

  12. Formation of acid rain 6. What reaction occurs when Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides react with water in rain clouds? Hint : Oxygen is added • Oxidation reaction

  13. 7. Name the 2 acids produced in the rain clouds? • ____________________________ • ____________________________

  14. 7. Name the 2 acids produced in the rain clouds? • Sulphuric Acid • Nitric Acid

  15. The problems with Acid Rain. • 8. Why does Acid rain produced in the UK cause problems in other countries such as Sweden and Norway? ________________________________________9. How does Acid Rain make lake waters acidic?________________________________________

  16. The problems with Acid Rain. • 8. Why does Acid rain produced in the UK cause problems in other countries such as Sweden and Norway? • Winds blow the clouds and therefore the acid rain to other areas9. How does Acid Rain make lake waters acidic? • Rains fall on the lake taking the acid with them and lowering the pH

  18. Acid Rain 2 WALT – Use a diagram to explain the formation of acid rain WILF - Complete, labeled diagram explaining how acid rain is formed Questions answered

  19. Draw a labelled diagram in your books explaining the formation of acid rain • Include : • Factories, cars, clouds and lakes/ rivers/ sea

  20. Using the information in your books, answer : • Define leaching • How does aluminium leaching from the soil affect fish?

  21. 1. Why would unpolluted rain water be classified as acidic? • ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ • 2. What is the pH of unpolluted rain water – does this match your answer to question 1? • __________________________________________________ • 3. What are the gases that cause acid rain? • __________________________________________________ • 4. Where does sulphur dioxide come from?
