Acetic Acid H 3
842 wordsIn the simple formalism proposed independently by Bronsted and Lowry in 1923, an acid was defined as a proton donor and a base was defined as a proton acceptor. In the simple acid-base reaction shown below, H 3 O+ is termed a Bronsted Acid, and HO- a Bronsted Base. In writing organic reaction mechanisms, the flow of electrons is often shown using "curved arrows" and in the example shown, the arrows are designed to show that an unshared pair of electrons from hydroxide anion moves to abstract a p...

Acid Rain Sulfur Dioxide
1,127 wordsAcid rain is precipitation of higher than normal acidity. Manmade increases in the acidity of precipitation are traced mainly to the burning of coal, oil, and gas by heavy industry and electrical utilities. Burning these fuels releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides (Sox and Nox) to the atmosphere where they combine with water vapor to produce sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and nitric acid (HNO 3). The acids in the atmosphere are carried and deposited on the earth s surface in the forms of rain, snow, and...
