Acid rain is caused by the combustion of fossil fuels, primarily the burning of coal but gasoline combustion also contributes. Burning of fossil fuels produces nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide which after emission transform into Sulfate and nitrate particles which combine in the air to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These acids fall to the earth as rain or other precipitation and get deposited in lakes and rivers and soil. \nA short term solution to problems associated with acid rain is to add a buffer to lakes other water sources to neutralize the acid but this is an expensive and temporary solution. The best way to prevent acid rain is to reduce emissions of the harmful substances by reducing the combustion of fossil fuels and practicing energy conservation or using other cleaner energy sources, like wind or solar power.

pouring,sprinkling,flooding?????????????? acid.

watch what you eat. Eat things that don't contain acid. Oranges Tomatos lemon Pineapple Mangos Kiwi juices coffee strong tea any red sauces and maybe you can take Pepcid complete

try the old fashion baking soda and vineger trick! they have a chemical reaction and foam up. thats what i did back in middle school.

Here are lists of acids.  Most are not practical because they are too weak, too strong, react with the textile, or the biggest reason, they cost too much.  \n\nGive us the criteria for your needed acid and why the acids currently used will not work in your situation.  Your question is not clear.\n\nhttp://www.zirchrom.com/organic.htm\n\nhttp://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtualText/acidity2.htm

Rain water but not acid rain water.  Since I don't get a lot of rain in my state I usually used purified water mixed with miracle grow.  If you want your plant to grow faster make sure you give it enough light as well.

To minimize the risks while working with sulfuric acid, appropriate precautions should be taken. For example, water should never be added to the concentrated acid, as the water could boil; rather, acid should be added to water.\n \nSee link below and scroll down to “Safety”.

acid rain!!!! \n\nit is widely believed that the acid rain is the result of wash out from the atmosphere, of the "acid rain gases", namely sulphurdioxide and nitrogen oxides. \n\nboth wet and dry deposits corrode metallic structures and deteriorate the quality of paint. \n\nthe deposition is particularly harmful to stone buildings, statues and monument.

mostly acids. do your own homework

get a damp paper towel and run it across the tip a couple of times, that will at least help a lot

You usually use hydroponics, i.e. you add salts of different essential macr and micro nutrients like iron oxide and potassium nitrate and add some EDTA to stop precipitation. But if yours is a low level experiment, try different types of soil --clay, sand and loam, and add in different amounts of water, maintain in diff. temp. and lighting.

u forgot to put the foloowings to choose from...\nbut still here are some ideas for u...\nTO PREVENT RUST, KEEP METAL SURFACE DRY - OR ADD A COATING \nRust is corrosion that affects ferrous metals such as iron and steel. In many cases, water vapor must be in the air before rust can occur. With iron, for example, 40 percent humidity must be present before rust will start to occur. The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep metal surfaces dry. Isolating the metal by coating it with paint, lacquer or wax is another good way to prevent corrosion. \n\nBefore coating a metal surface, remove all traces of rust. Then apply a primer and finish with paint. It's best if the paint and primer are the same brand; they usually are formulated to work together. Metals such as brass, copper or aluminum are best protected with either wax or by spraying them with lacquer or clear varnish. \n\nRust also can attack metal in inaccessible areas. Corrosion occurs inside a home hot-water heater, for example, because the ions circulating in the water make it easy for dissolved oxygen to pull the electrons from the interior surface of the metal tank. \n\nRust that occurs in localized areas is called localized corrosion. There are three types: galvanic, crevice and pitting. \n\n- Galvanic corrosion: It occurs whenever two dissimilar metals contact each other. This creates a flow of electrons between the metals that eventually causes them to disintegrate. One way to prevent this corrosion is to replace one metal piece with another that is compatible with the mating piece.\n\nFor example, many aluminum storm doors have steel rivets holding the hinges or closing piston in place. Often, corrosion starts around these fasteners, then works to the adjacent aluminum panels. Drilling the corroded fasteners out and replacing them with aluminum pop-rivets will stop the galvanic corrosion before it spreads.\n\n- Crevice corrosion: It occurs around the joints and seams of metal fixtures where dirt accumulates. By itself the dirt is not particularly harmful, but it allows moisture to collect; this causes corrosion. Joint and seam corrosion is a common occurrence on gutters and downspouts. Clean them often to keep dirt and leaves, which retain moisture, from building up. If rust is present, remove it with a flexible sanding wheel chucked in an electric drill, then prime and paint the bare metal.\n\n- Pitting corrosion: It occurs outdoors when the wind bombards metal surfaces with minute particles of dirt, salt or sand and creates microscopic craters that retain moisture. At first, the corrosion is limited, then quickly escalates into a formidable problem. Outdoor electrical conduits, television antenna masts, metal windows and doors, and children's play equipment are a few of the items that receive constant assault from air-borne particles and are subject to pit corrosion. This type of corrosion is severe near the seashore and is most noticeable on the side of the house that faces the prevailing winds. Check exposed metal surfaces often; sand and paint them if they show signs of pitting.

Based on one of my chem classes:\n\nA reaction goes to completion if:\n>there's a precipitate.\n>one of the product is a gas and the system isn't isolated.\n>conditions are kept constant.\n\nI think the 'precipitation' you are asking is a 'precipitation reaction'. This effect is useful in many industrial and scientific applications whereby a chemical reaction may produce a solid that can be collected from the solution by various methods (e.g. filtration, decanting, centrifuging). Precipitation from a solid solution is also a useful way to strengthen alloys.

limestone minerals buffer the acid rain.  The acid reacts with the calcite, etc. in limestone and changes it to more neutral or even slightly basic.  Our groundwater, therefore, tends to have a higher pH even though the pH of rainwater is low.

What is?\n\nAcid rain" is a broad term used to describe several ways that acids fall out of the atmosphere. A more precise term is acid deposition, which has two parts: wet and dry. \n\nWet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog, and snow. As this acidic water flows over and through the ground, it affects a variety of plants and animals. The strength of the effects depend on many factors, including how acidic the water is, the chemistry and buffering capacity of the soils involved, and the types of fish, trees, and other living things that rely on the water. \n\nDry deposition refers to acidic gases and particles. About half of the acidity in the atmosphere falls back to earth through dry deposition. The wind blows these acidic particles and gases onto buildings, cars, homes, and trees. Dry deposited gases and particles can also be washed from trees and other surfaces by rainstorms. When that happens, the runoff water adds those acids to the acid rain, making the combination more acidic than the falling rain alone.\n\nPrevailing winds blow the compounds that cause both wet and dry acid deposition across state and national borders, and sometimes over hundreds of miles.\n\nRead:http://www.fs.fed.us/ne/newtown_square/aboutus/history.shtml\n\nhttp://www.nautilus.org/archives/fora/energy/9704A_VonHippel.html\n\nee this Epa report:http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/cmprpt/arp03/summary.html

drink the sulfuric acid dude.  it tastes good.
