Acid rain is a type of rain or any other form of precipitation that has an unusual level of acidity

Which means it has a high level of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can cause harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which interact with water molecules in the atmosphere and create acids. Since the 1970s, governments have made efforts to lower the level of sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere, achieving positive results. Nitrogen oxides can be produced naturally by lightning strikes while sulfur dioxide from volcanic eruptions. Chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to be removed, corrosion of steel structures on bridges and erosion of stone statues.
 Formation of acid rain

Creating acid rain

Due to the release of acidic gases into the atmosphere and their solubility in raindrops, it then collapses into such acidic soil. In normal rain conditions there is a small amount of acidity. This rate depends on the amount of CO2 dissolved in it, as well as small amounts of chlorine. By standards the acidity should be pH = 5.0. Before the industrial revolution it was 5-6, and now it has grown. Acrylic acid is formed by the reaction:
H2O (l) + CO2 (g)  H2CO3 (aq)
Subsequently carbonic acid can be ionized in water forming low concentrations of hydron and carbonate ions:
H2O (l) + H2CO3 (aq)  HCO3− (aq) + H3O + (aq)
Acid deposits in the environment may also include acids other than H2CO3 acid.

Why 'Wherefore Art Thou Romeo' Mean?

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Because of the base word where , modern ears often interpret this line as asking the question: “Where are you, Romeo?” In fact, it’s asking, “Why are you Romeo?” The following line gives us a clue: Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Since what kept the lovers apart was their feuding families, they could be together without impediments if he had a different name. Why was he Romeo? (Indeed, a few lines later, Juliet asks, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet.”) The fact is, adding prepositions to where was an unusually productive way to make words in English. In these compounds, where meant “what” or “which,” so that, for example, whereon meant “on what” and wherein meant “in what”—and wherefore meant “for what,” or “why.” Shakespeare used it in other plays as well: But wherefore do you droop? why look you sad? —Shakespeare, King John, Act 5, Scene 1 Wherefore was I born? ...

Is the tattoo haram?

Answer: Praise be to Allah alone, praise and peace be upon Muhammad ... The tattoo is a permanent mark or drawing on the skin that is injected through the needles under the superficial layer of skin. Most often, "tattoo artists" use a hand machine that acts like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin continuously. With each puncture, the needles release color. The health damages he can cause are many, such as allergic reactions, various skin infections and blood diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus and HIV, the AIDS-causing virus (AIDS). However, even if it were not the cause of those diseases, the tattoo is haram because it changes and interferes with the creation of Allah, who gave man the most beautiful form. Although tattooing is a growing fad, it is a primitive act that people have done in ancient times, while Islam forbade it from this ugly and not flattering act (in my opinion), hence the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sall...

These are the 15 reasons why Muslims do not eat pork

The fact that pork consumption is banned in Islam is already known, but the following points explain the reasons and aspects of this ban: 1) A pig is a real waste bin. Eat everything, including excrement, decomposed meats or rotten vegetables. They also eat the carcinogenic masses of animals. 2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs the toxins like a sponge. Their meat may be up to 30 times more toxic than beef or deer meat. 3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest in our body, so the toxins have all the time possible to filter out of the liver. But when eating pork it only takes about 4 hours to digest. We can thus obtain a much higher level of toxins within a short time. 4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat. Sweat is a product that removes toxins from the body. Because a pig does not sweat, toxins remain inside his body and in the flesh. 5) Pigs and piglets are so poisonous that it is very difficult to kill them with striken or other poisons. 6) Farme...
