Photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide and water on light transform into sugar and bi molecular oxygen.
6CO2+ 6H2O (light) ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
The carbon and fossil fuels
One of the first reactions involved in this process is the one of the photosynthesis then this is the combustion/metabolism reaction where oxygen is used and carbon dioxide is a product. This reactions converts chemical energy into other form of energy.
The whole purpose of both processes is to convert chemical energy into other forms of energy such as heat.
The second part of the formula is when we use fossil fuels.
C/M reaction.
CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + ENERGY
OR
C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + ENERGY
Production of CO2
Most commonly, combustion reactions produce carbon dioxide. These reactions involve a hydrocarbon (like natural gas or gasoline), and oxygen. The combustion reaction yields carbon dioxide and water.
Ethane, 2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O
Benzene, 2C6H6 + 7SO2 --> 6CO2 + 3H2O
Heptane, C7H6 + 11O2 --> 7CO2 + 8H2O
Stage 3. Acids and bases. Opposites that neutralize.
THE ACID RAIN
Is mainly produced in most of the cases is due to human activity, such as:
-The operation of the industry or the burning of fossil fuels.
-The widespread use of transport
-The factories
It has multiple effects in the environment such as:
-Mainly affects the urban and ecological
-Environment alters the conditions of farmland and lakes.
-Particle acidic arrive direct into the lungs of the population, which can cause damage to health in the long term monuments and buildings of metal, marble and quarry are affected and its surface begins to deteriorate.
-Affects to the ecosystems, especially to aquatic life, since it poisons fish and plants.
We must take into account the damage we are causing to the environment through our actions, since it affects us much these events as the rain acidic because the smog in the air is pushed with the rainwater into the ground, it contains high amounts of CO2 arriving at the floor it makes them infertile. All this is due to that the person we have been increasing our daily activities and with them comes an excessive consumption of resources or causing both cars and factories have increased use, making both CO2 and other gases are released in the environment affecting our quality of life as well as to the environment. Acid rain is just one of the many consequences of the damage it causes to the environment.
Some alternatives to reduce this problem are:
-Reduce the maximum level of sulfur in various fuels
- cause the closure of refineries
- encouraging the use of natural gas in various industries
- gas conversion in commercial companies and Government vehicles
- expansion of the transportation system electric
