Bronsted-Lowry theory, Acid deposition - Coggle Diagram
Bronsted-Lowry theory
-
Acid reactions with bases/ metal oxides/ metal hyroxides in a neutralisation reaction to form salt and water
-
-
-
How to measure pH?
Rate of reaction, by measuring amount of time taken to reach a certain fixed point
-
-
Weak acids are acids which do not disassociate fully when dissolved in water while strong acids are acids which disassociate fully when dissolved in water
-
-
Bases reactions
Bases react with ammonium salts to form water, salt and ammonia
Acid deposition
Wet acid (acid rain) formed by carbon dioxide, suffer dioxide, nitrogen oxides etc.
There is also Dry acid deposition in the form of solid chunks
Problems :
- Decrease pH level of water which kills fishs, their eggs and other organisms
- Reacts with calcium carbonate and makes it yellow : damaging monuments
- Damages high altitude forests by limiting soil from essential nutrients
-
