Non metal Oxides
A) Aqueous solutions of metal and non-metal oxides Ionic Metal oxides basic – Group I and II except Be. Non metal oxides acidic
B) ACID RAIN Rain is slightly acidic pH around 5.6 CO 2 + 2H 2 O H 3 O + + HCO 3 - Any precipitation with pH <5.6 is called Acid Rain. Sources of Acidity: Most fuels ( coals and oil) are hydrocarbons that have sulphur; when sulphur is burnt…
B) ACID RAIN Sources of Acidity: Combustion reactions esp. in automobiles produce..
