"Why does acid rain affect lakes with granite beds more than lakes with calcium carbonate or limestone beds?" Acid rain contains sulfuric acid (H2SO4), to answer the above question you need to predict the chemical reactions that occur, and the products of those reactions in each case. 1. Determine if the chemicals involved are acids, bases, or essentially neutral. 2. Write the chemical equation for the reaction between acid rain and granite (SiO2). 3. Write the chemical equation for the reaction between acid rain and calcium carbonate/limestone (CaCO3) 4. Using the information from the chemical reactions you wrote, describe why lakes with granite beds are more susceptible to acid rain than lakes with: limestone beds.

Group 15 elements

The elements of group 15 are phosphorus, nitrogen, bismuth antimony, and arsenic. The most abundant element which is present in the air is nitrogen and the percentage of nitrogen present in the air is 78%. In the free state, the elemental nitrogen is present as diatomic gas (N2). In the organic matter obtained from plants and animals, phosphorus is the dominant element present. In nucleic acids, phosphate groups are present. Phosphates are also found in teeth and bones. The other elements arsenic, bismuth, and antimony are found as sulfides. Arsenopyrite, bismuth glance, and stibnite are examples of sulfides of arsenic, bismuth, and antimony respectively.
