Question 5 Why is acid precipitation a problem for aquatic ecosystems? A. It adds heavy metals to bodies of water, causing the plants in them to become contami- nated and unhealthy to eat. It changes the pH of bodies of water so that organisms sensitive to pH changes cannot survive. C. It adds hydrocarbons to bodies of water so that organisms sensitive to hydrocarbons cannot survive.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.

A.
It adds heavy metals to bodies of water, causing the plants in them to become contami-
nated and unhealthy to eat.
It changes the pH of bodies of water so that organisms sensitive to pH changes cannot
survive.
C.
It adds hydrocarbons to bodies of water so that organisms sensitive to hydrocarbons
cannot survive.
D
It adds nutrients to bodies of water so that algal blooms develop and the water's oxygen
levels decrease.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F94a4fdf1-366c-4835-9fcf-70bd497d6a84%2Fa21791ed-ccb3-45a5-bfc6-9ab9b7b03759%2F8eie96s_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
