Final

[904901860]

What exactly should we know about acid rain and air pollution for the final?

[Ashish Verma 2I]

I don't think you need to know anything specifically about acid rain just the concepts involved in that example from the book regarding the reaction of carbonic acid (or a similar strong acid) and water.

[Ashish Verma 2I]

Pages 490-491 in the 7th Edition have a small blurb on this.

In lecture, Lavelle recommended going through the acid rain problems in the textbook so I think we should be familiar with the biological applications of what we learned in the context of acid rain and air pollution.

[Milisuryani Santoso 1L]

I think that acid rain will probably just be used as the background to a question on the final (maybe a acid/base pH thing or whatever), but it's more essential to be aware of it and understand how to calculate pKa in context.

Where can I find the acid rain problems in the textbook?

Where can I find the acid rain problems in the textbook?

I think Pages 490-491 in the 7th Edition would have some problems below the concepts and explanation.

[Marykate Abad 3L]

In the syllabus it says we should be able to "explain why rain can be acidic and discuss possible options to reduce 'acid rain'."

I guess a solution for acid rain would be "less pollution in terms of less co2 and so4 emissions"
