  14. Final Exam Essay! 2) Write an essay showing BOTH sides of the issue 1) Choose a controversial Chem 108 topic 3) Pick a side!!

  15. Topics for Today • pH and acid rain • Effects of acid rain • SO2 and NOx revisited

  16. But first… From last time

  17. Saturated Fats • Occur naturally • Increase “bad” cholesterol (LDL) • Increase of plaque in arteries (leads to atherosclerosis)

  18. Trans Fats • Occur naturally in very small amounts • Increase “bad” cholesterol (LDL) • Increase of plaque in arteries (leads to atherosclerosis) • Decrease “good” cholesterol (HDL) Double Whammy!

  19. So, should I eat butter instead of margarine?

  20. FAT TYPE PER SERVING (*)(Serving Size - 1 tbsp.) How much trans fats should we be eating?

  21. The FDA does not have a standard Daily Value Allowance (DVA) for trans fats. As of Jan 1, 2006, nutrition labels must reveal the trans fats in a serving

  22. Doesn’t add up!! 0 + 0 + 0.5 + 0 1 g????

  23. trans fats must be on label ONLY if it is above 0.5 g. • In other words, 0.49 g of trans fat do NOT need to be reported.

  24. How do I know if there are trans fats in my food?

  25. Look at the ingredients!!

  26. Topics for Today • pH and acid rain • Effects of acid rain • SO2 and NOx revisited

  27. Review What is pH? Just a measure of the H+ concentration!

  28. Pure Water • pH = 7! Neutral

  29. What about the pH of rainwater?

  30. Acidic or basic? Normal rainwater has a pH around 5.5. Why is rainwater naturally acidic?

  31. Carbon Dioxide, CO2 O=C=O 380 ppm!! 4th most abundant gas in the atmosphere. A colorless, odorless, tasteless gas

  32. Does CO2 wash out in the rain? No, but it is slightly soluble…

  33. CO2 + H2O H2CO3 Gives rain its natural acidity Carbonic Acid!

  34. Is the pH of “real” rainwater about 5.5? Depends…

  35. Why does the eastern US have the lowest pH?

  36. Usually 1-4% sulfur! So what?

  37. What happens when you burn sulfur?

  38. Sulfurous Acid SO2 + H2O  H2SO3 Sulfuric Acid SO3 + H2O  H2SO4

  39. NOx Goes on to form nitric acid!!

  40. 1999 SO2 Emissions by state

  41. 1999 NOx Emissions by state
