1 Acid Rain Experiment 2 Acid rain is a topic of great concern to environmental engineers. It can kill fish by lowering the ph of lakes and rivers. It can harm trees and plants by burning their leaves and depriving them of nutrients. It can also weather away stone buildings and monuments. But why is it more of a problem in some places than others? To answer this question, let s first look at how rain becomes acidic. Carbon dioxide, CO 2, is a gas found naturally in the air. When CO 2 dissolves into rain droplets, it produces a weak acid called carbonic acid, H 2 CO 3. This makes rain slightly acidic naturally. Rain of ph 5 to 6 is common and does not generally cause any problems. When fossil fuels are burned, however, gases such as sulfur dioxide, SO 2, are released into the air. When sulfur dioxide dissolves into rain droplets, sulfuric acid, H 2 SO 4, is formed. This rain can be as acidic as ph 4. Figure 1 shows the trend of rain ph in the United States in a typical year. Notice that the most acidic rain occurs over and downwind from heavily populated and industrialized areas. Figure 1: Typical rain ph in United States. Acid rain is more harmful to some areas than others. This is because some water resists changes in ph better than others. Water that resists a change in ph is said to be buffered. Depending on the buffering capacity of the surface water, one area could be heavily damaged by acid rain that does not seem to harm another at all. In Part I of this experiment, you will study how rain naturally becomes acidic due to CO 2 in the air. You will monitor the ph of water as you add CO 2 by blowing through a straw. In Part II, you will study the effect of acid rain on the ph of different water types. The ph will be recorded as dilute sulfuric acid is added to several water samples. Evaluation copy OBJECTIVES In this experiment, you will Use a computer and an NXT to measure ph. Study the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the ph of distilled water. Study the effect on ph of dissolving dilute sulfuric acid in various waters. Learn why some bodies of water are more vulnerable to acid rain than others. STEM with Vernier and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2-1

Obtain and wear goggles! CAUTION: The sulfuric acid used in Part II of this experiment is a strong acid. Contact with sulfuric acid will damage your skin, eyes, and clothing! 2. Prepare the NXT for data collection. a. Connect the ph Sensor to the Vernier NXT Sensor Adapter. b. Connect the Adapter to Port 1 on the NXT using a LEGO NXT cable. c. Make sure the NXT is connected to the computer (USB or Bluetooth) and turned on. 3. Launch NXT 2.0 Data Logging. 4. Click the Go button next to Start New Experiment. 5. Set up the experiment. a. In the Experiment Configuration Window, select Vernier ph by clicking on the pull-down list to the left of Port 1. (Notice the indicator box changes from gray to green.) b. Adjust the Duration to 100 seconds. c. Click the OK button. 2-2 STEM with Vernier and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT
3 Acid Rain 6. Raise the ph Sensor from the Temporary Storage Solution and set the solution aside. Use a wash bottle filled with distilled water to thoroughly rinse the ph Sensor as shown by your teacher. Place the sensor on a ring stand. 7. Wash a 100 ml beaker with tap water and dry it with a paper towel. Note: All glassware must be clean in this experiment! 8. Get a 50 ml portion of distilled water in this clean beaker. Lower the ph Sensor into the distilled water and swirl the water around the sensor briefly. Be careful not to damage the glass bulb on the sensor! 9. Click the Download and Run button to begin data collection. After the computer registers the initial ph, begin blowing through the straw into the distilled water for 100 seconds. You may take breaths as needed, but try to keep a fairly constant stream of air going into the water. 10. Analyze the dataset. a. Click on the Analysis Tools Button, and select Section Analysis. b. Drag the left and right edges of the gray strip until it is as wide as the entire graph window. c. Record the minimum and maximum ph values in your data table. Part II Effects of Acid Rain on Surface Water Acid Rain and Distilled Water 11. Click the Switch to NXT Programming button in the upper-left corner of the computer screen. 12. Prepare the program for ph data collection. a. Click the Go button next to Start New Program. b. Drag a Vernier Sensor Block from the Sensor palette to the programming area. c. In the configuration panel at the lower-left side of the computer screen, select ph from the Sensor pull-down list. d. You should see live sensor readings displayed in the configuration panel. If the sensor reading is gray and not changing, the NXT is not communicating with the computer. Click on the NXT Window button at the top-left corner of the NXT Controller. If the NXT is not listed as Connected, you may need to check the power and connections and then select your NXT from the list presented. Once it is listed as Available, you can choose Connect. 13. Wash and dry the 100 ml beaker. Get a new 50 ml portion of distilled water. 14. Prepare the ph Sensor for reuse. a. Thoroughly rinse the sensor with distilled water. b. Place the ph Sensor into the beaker of distilled water and swirl the water about the Sensor briefly. c. Note the ph reading in the digital display. When the reading stabilizes, record the ph value in your data table. STEM with Vernier and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2-3
4 Experiment You are now ready to begin adding H 2 SO 4 solution. CAUTION: Sulfuric acid can cause burns. Wear goggles. Avoid inhaling its vapors. Avoid contacting it with your skin and clothing. a. Add 1 drop of H 2 SO 4 solution to the distilled water. b. Swirl to ensure thorough mixing. c. When the ph reading stabilizes, record the value in your data table. 16. Repeat the Step 15 procedure 2 more times, so that you can study how the ph changes as you add 1, 2, and 3 drops. Acid Rain and Hard Water 17. Add H 2 SO 4 to Hard Water. a. Thoroughly rinse the sensor with distilled water. b. Wash and dry the 100 ml beaker. c. Get a 50 ml portion of Hard Water in the 100 ml beaker, lower the ph Sensor into this water, and then briefly swirl the water about the Sensor. d. When the ph reading stabilizes, record the value in your data table. e. Repeat Steps for this sample. Acid Rain and Soft Water 18. Add H 2 SO 4 to Soft Water. Repeat the Step 17 procedure using Soft Water. 19. H 2 SO 4 and buffer solution. Repeat the Step 17 procedure using Buffer Solution. 20.

5 Acid Rain DATA AND OBSERVATIONS Part I CO 2 and Distilled Water Table 1 Adding CO 2 from your breath to water Maximum ph Minimum ph ph Part II H 2 SO 4 and Distilled Water Table 2 Drops Distilled Water Hard Water Soft Water Buffer Solution ph PROCESSING THE DATA 1. Calculate the change in ph ( ph) for each trial by subtracting the minimum ph from the maximum ph. 2. Compare the Part II ph values. Which test gave the largest ph change? Which test gave the smallest ph change? 3. Hard water from much of the Midwestern United States is said to be naturally buffered. From the results of this experiment, what does this mean? 4. How does hard water from the Midwest become buffered? 5. Many aquatic life forms can only survive in water with a narrow range of ph values. In which water, Midwestern or New England, would living things be more threatened by acid rain? Explain. STEM with Vernier and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2-5
6 Experiment 2 6. There are numerous coal-burning electric power plants along the Ohio River in the Midwest. However, air pollution produced there is more harmful to water life in New England than in the Midwest. A similar situation exists in Europe where air pollutants from highly industrialized Germany are more harmful to Scandinavian water life than to water life in Germany. Use the results of this experiment to explain these situations. EXTENSIONS 1. Test ocean water in the same way you tested hard and soft water. How does it compare? 2. Do library research to get more information on the effects of acid rain on streams and lakes. 2-6 STEM with Vernier and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT
