Presentation Transcript

  1. Carbonic Acid(Type A acid rain) By: Emma L. & Brendon Z.

  2. What is Carbonic Acid? • Form of Acid Rain • Weakest form of Acid Rain (sulfuric & nitric) • Also forms in the body and in the ocean • Important part in the respiration

  3. Reactants • CO2 (g)+ H2O (l) • Carbon Dioxide + Water

  4. How the atoms form together White = Hydrogen Red = Oxygen Black = Carbon H2O CO2 H2CO3

  5. During the process of this synthesis H2O CO2 The two atoms H2O and CO2 come together by sharing atoms

  6. Product • H2CO3

  7. Chemical Equation CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 • Synthesis • Covalent Compound • Carbon Dioxide + Water = Carbonic Acid A + B = A B

  8. Proof of Chemical reaction • Soda Pop • Bubbles • Release of CO2 • H2CO3 looses H+ to become CO2

  9. Where is it found? • Found in the body - Transports CO2 through the body - Red blood cells help dissociate hydrogen ions • Found in the ocean - CO2 emitted by fossil fuel - Forms Carbonic Acid with water

  10. Scientists • Robert Agnus Smith; ‘Father of Acid’ • 1852 • Scottish Chemist did most of his work in environmental issues • Discovered Acid Rain in 1852
