When you have finished, submit this assignment to your teacher by the due date for full credit. (9 points) 1. Explain acid deposition. Your explanation should include the following: The sources of acid deposition The chemical equations involved in acid deposition formation An explanation of the types of acid deposition A discussion of the effects of acid deposition A drawing that shows the sources, formation, and precipitation of acid deposition Answer: The analysis of organic compounds is called organic chemistry. Precipitation is defined as the deposition of an insoluble compound present in the solution and its deposit at the bottom of the test tube. © Stride, Inc. All right reserved.

Graded Assignment Science | Unit: Environmental Concerns | Lesson: Unit Test Acid deposition, usually successful as acid rain, happens once emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and other industrial processes undergo complicated chemical behaviors in the atmosphere and fall to earth as wet deposition (rain, snow, clouds, fog). or dry deposition (dry particles, gas). (8 points) 2. In a discussion, a student makes the following statement regarding the cause of global warming: “The sun’s rays penetrate the atmosphere through the ozone hole and heat up the atmosphere and the surface, thereby causing global warming.” Is the student correct? Why or why not? In your response, briefly explain both phenomena. Answer: The student is incorrect because the global warming is result of greenhouse gas emissions and cause increased level gases in atmosphere, solar radiations don’t penetrate the atmosphere, the whole layer of the atmosphere is penetrable for solar radiations; the greenhouse gases such as CO2, water vapor, etc. (8 points) 3. In 2008, Americans generated 250 million tons of nonhazardous municipal solid waste. Of that waste, 54.2 percent was discarded 33.2 percent was recovered © Stride, Inc. All right reserved.
