A

Soot, smoke, cigarettes, ash

43
Q

What can particulate matter cause?

A

Respiratory problems such as asthma

44
Q

What is the difference between reliability and validity?

A

Reliability - does not measure how accurate and valid the test is. Only repeats the same results
Validity - measures how accurate and valid the test is

45
Q

What is a positive control?

A

Positive controls experiment with a known material that is known to produce results

46
Q

What is a negative control?

A

Negative controls experiment with an unknown material that is not expected to produce results

47
Q

What is an Acidic solution?

A

Contains HT
Is dissolved in water
Are CONDUCTIVE solutions
Behave like IONIC compounds when dissolved in water
As a solute, they are often MOLECULAR compounds

48
Q

What did Arrhenius believe?

A

Acids form aqueous solutions that contain HYDROGEN IONS
Bases form aqueous solutions that contain HYDROXIDE IONS
If neither ion is present, the substance is NEUTRAL ionic or molecular

49
Q

What is an Acid-Base reaction?

A

An acid-base reaction involves the movement of a hydrogen ion from an acid to a base

50
Q

What happens when a Hydrogen ion (H+) is moved from an acid to a base and vice versa?

A

Giving up a hydrogen ion turns the acid into a conjugate base and gaining a hydrogen ion turns the base into a conjugate acid.

51
Q

What is the Concentration of an Acid and a Base?

A

Concentration is the amount of substance in a solution, measured in mol/L

52
Q

What is the strength in an acid or base?

A

strength depends on the amount of dissociation.

53
Q

What happens to a strong acid such as H3O+?

A

Strong acids dissociate 100% in a solution which causes H3O+ to rise high and lower its PH

54
Q

What happens to a weak acid such as Water?

A

Weak acids dissociate <100% which causes H2O to lower and raise its PH

55
Q

What is PH?

A

Percent of Hydrogen

56
Q

What do Concentrated solutions associate with?

A

particles per unit of water

57
Q

What do Concentrated Solutions determine?

A

how quickly the solution will react/change

58
Q

True or False: the PH scale can surpass 0 to 14

A

True

59
Q

How can sulphur trioxide and nitrogen dioxide make an acidic substance?

A

When sulphur trioxide reacts with water

60
Q

How does acid deposition form?

A

When carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide, sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, and nitrous oxides react with water

61
Q

True or False: Rain water is not acidic

A

False

62
Q

How does acid rain occur naturally?

A

when water reacts with gases that occur naturally in the atmosphere

63

73
Q

What does acid deposition increase?

A

Hydronium ion concentration

74
Q

What minimalize acid deposition

A

Carbonate Ions

75
Q

What is Buffering?

A

Buffers keep PH levels at a constant rate

76
Q

What is Buffer capacity?

A

Buffer capacity is the amount of acid that can be buffered by soil or water

77
Q

What minerals can Buffer?

A

Minerals in soils and H2O, carbonic acid and hydrogen carbonate can buffer

78
Q

What do buffers release?

A

CO32- and HCO3-

79
Q

True or False: Buffers can neutralize acids

A

True

80
Q

Why is the ozone layer thin?

A

Chlorine

81
Q

How can the ozone layer heal and thicken over time?

A

reduction of emissions by removing sulfur from coal and natural gas, reduce sulfur by stopping bacteria, and reduce combustion reactions and use pure O2

82
Q

What else can heal and help thicken the ozone layer over time?

A

Reducing vehicle emissions, reduce sulfur, support non-polutting technologies, and recycling can help heal the ozone layer

83
Q

True or False: CFC’s destroy the ozone layer

A

True

84
Q

What are the consequences of Smog?

A

Smog hurts the ozone layer
Smog hurts people with respiratory problems and can be toxic at high concentrations
Smog at low concentrations irritate the eyes, nose, and throat
Smog break down plastic and rubber as well as react with VOC’s and NOx to make PAN which is a severe irritant to people

85
Q

A

When it has a bond with at least three carbon atoms

88
Q

What do hydrocarbons depend on?

A

the length of chain, the number of bonds, and side add-ons.
