**Understanding Acid Rain and Its Effects**"Acid rain" forms when rain falls through air polluted by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, which dissolve to form acids such as \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_3 \), \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \), and \( \text{HNO}_3 \). Trees and plants are affected if the acid rain has a pH of 3.5 or lower.**Calculation of Hydrogen Ion Concentration**1. **Problem:** What is the hydrogen ion concentration in acid rain that has a pH of 3.41? \[ \text{[H}^+\text{]} = \] \_\_\_ M2. **Problem:** What is the pH of a solution having twice your calculated hydrogen ion concentration? \[ \text{pH} = \] \_\_\_For these questions, you will calculate the hydrogen ion concentration using the formula for pH and then determine how the concentration change affects the pH.

1) Here given---- pH of the acid rain = 3.41 We know---- pH = - log [H+] Or, [H+] = 10-pH Now…

"Acid rain" forms when rain falls through air polluted by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, which dissolve to form acids such as H₂SO3, H₂SO4, and HNO3. Trees and plants are affected if the acid rain has a pH of 3.5 or lower. What is the hydrogen ion concentration in acid rain that has a pH of 3.41? [H*] = i What is the pH of a solution having twice your calculated hydrogen ion concentration? pH = M i

Los Angeles has water regulations that requires any wastewater poured down the drain to be between pH = 4.5 and pH = 9.0. In lab, Dr. Smith is feeling lazy and decides to pour waste down the drain instead of going through the appropriate procedure for disposal of chemical waste. The waste contained your 0.250 M solution of HCl. Does this wastewater comply with the Los Angeles water standards? Hint: Recall that strong acids completely dissociate. HCl → H+ + Cl- How is [H+] related to the concentration of the HCl solution? a)No, this solution has pH below the safe range. b)Yes, this solution has pH within the safe range. c)No, this solution has pH above the safe range. d)The pH will depend on the volume (liters) of solution.
