so... my current program (<---) is crap

Does anyone kno any programs that are free and available on the Windows Store?
 
I mean I could just be honest and write ‘no’ but I guess this would not help so....eh...uhm..

In a world where acid rain plagues our world, is this a sign of how pH can help plants grow better? There are possibly more ways to use pH than to measure and find acids and bases, thus through acid rain, it is possible for plants to grow better with the relationship of pH and acid rain. In order to understand the possible solution, an understanding of acid rain and pH is needed, as well as how they are related.
PH is a unit of measurement used to measure the acidity of a liquid, which helps society by identifying acids and bases.According to Experiment Central: Understanding Scientific Principles Through Projects, “The numerical measurement of acid and bases in a solution is called pH (the abbreviation for potential of hydrogen).” PH is measured through indicators, which can be used in two different methods. One method is by using a electrometric indicator. When the electrode is submerged into the liquid, it measures the potential difference and constant potential. These factors are used to find out the pH of a liquid, but this method is using only used by highly advanced scientists. The other method is to use dyes that change color when in contact with liquids (“Encyclopedia” 313). Litmus paper is a famous indicator (that uses dyes) because it is able to react with substances like acids and bases (“Acid”). After finding what the pH of a solution is, a pH scale is used to evaluate the data. In Experiment Central: Understanding Scientific Principles Through Projects, “The pH scale ranges from 0-14. Very acidic substances are at the lower end of the scale, with 0.0 being the most acidic, and very basic substances are at the upper end of the scale.” PH ranges from 0(acidic) to 14(basic)(“Experiment”). There are many formulas related to pH, and they all can be used to find pH or other factors. Encyclopedias of Science and Technology states, “The relationship between hydrogen-ion activity (aH+) and concentration(C) is given by Eq(1), where the activity coefficient y is a function of the total ionic strength (concentration) of the solution,” and “The effective concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is expressed in terms of pH, which is the negative logarithm of hydrogen-ion activity (Eq.2).”
Eq. 1: aH+ = yC
Eq.2: pH = -log10aH+
PH is shown through the amount of hydrogen ion activity (aH+) in it. Hydrogen ions in a solution is used to help solve hydrogen ion activity (Eq. 1), and hydrogen ion activity can be used to find pH (Eq. 2) (“Encyclopedia”). These method is used to separate acids and bases from each other into different categories.
There are two different types of solutions that are separated in terms of pH. The UXL Encyclopedia Of Science says, “Acids and bases ar chemical compounds that have distinct properties in a water solution”. The strength of an acid or base is dependent on pH. The more pH, the stronger the base (above pH 7), while the less pH, the weaker the base (above 7). Acids and bases are both related to pH. They react with substances that change when touched. Litmus paper is a famous indicator that is used. Acids and bases are commonly referred to when pH is mentioned. They react differently to different solutions, and are classified as weak or strong. They are all around the world harmful or helpful. According to UXL Encyclopedia of Science, “Acids and bases are sometimes described as the chemical opposites of each other. If the equivalent quantities of an acid and a base are combined, the two compounds react to form a salt and water.” This process is called neutralization, and it used to help the environment in society today. By using these methods, scientists are able to connect more things with pH.
PH is found everywhere today, even if it does not seem like it. Acids and bases are not harmful, unless they are very acidic or basic. There are acids in many foods, and is used to create fertilizer, refining oil and sugar. A well known base in today’s society is ammonia (“UXL”). Some acids are even needed to help the human body function, like acid in stomachs, which is needed to digest. Weaker acids and bases however are used more than stronger acids, for those acids are harmful. Some strong acids can burn skin, and lye(a strong base) can blind people (Nelson). In today’s society, many scientists have began to study pH and discovering more. It is difficult to find accurate data however, due to the information can easily be tampered with (“Encyclopedia”). Before understanding, the background for acid rain is also needed.
Acid rain mostly caused through pollution, and there are many chemicals in pollution. In World Of Scientific Discovery, “The prime culprits that create acid rain are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as gasoline vapor.” The pollution is mostly from power plants and factories, which harm the environment due the harmful burning of coal and oil. Robert Angus Smith was the first to discover acid rain in 1872 (100 years after the Industrial Revolution), but it would take a while before it would be noticed (“World”). It would be in 1970 where more research would occur (Lerner 18).
The reason why acid rain has become a problem is because of the affect and problems it has caused. It has affected lakes and other bodies of water through acidification. This has caused the ecosystem to change in a drastic way (Lerner 19). Due to these problems in water, it has caused most ecosystems more havoc than ever before. Small marine organisms in freshwater bodies are unable to live in harsh conditions with acid rain, so they are forced to migrate to other places instead. This also has caused larger animals to get into trouble because without smaller animals, the amount of food left for them is limited, thus causing the ecosystem large problems. The large effect acid rain has caused on society is the plants and soil. Soil acidification is caused from acid rain, and it leads to many problems with plants. It can cause plants to not function well with photosynthesis, and create leaching, which is when the minerals of a plants are removed, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Due to the soil interaction with acid rain, it can destroy entire rainforests due to their attributes that causes them to be the most vulnerable to acid rain. Acid rain even affects buildings, by weathering them and eating away buildings (“World”).
Acid rain is now known throughout the world, causing the world to begin trying to prevent it from causing any more damage. The NAPAP is an organization beginning to take action against acid rain, their name stands for National Acid Precipitation Program. They have began to crack down on limiting the amount of pollution that goes into the air, hence the Clean Air Act of 1970. They have began to add new inventions, that remove solid particles that cause acid rain in pollution, to new power plants (“World”).
The pH of acid rain is around 4.49, which is considered acidic (for it is smaller than 7) (Lerner 19). It is considered a strong acid due to its range between neutral and acidic. The more acidic a solution is, it will be less in terms of pH. Therefore, it is more acidic than most acids in the world. The more basic a solution is, the more pH it has (“UXL”).
Plants don’t grow well without certain care and treatment. Plants definitely do not grow well with acid rain, due to many problems acid rain causes to it, like limiting photosynthesis. Soil pH can cause some other problems in plants besides growth. Plants need a certain soil pH to grow as well, which can clearly show how pH of a soil affects plants. Leading to this conclusion, in the future, it may be possible to discover that the pH of a liquid can help a plant grow better with the example of acid rain (Lerner 21).
The data may show that the pH of a liquid can positively affect plants. Examples of acid rain show the effects that have caused with plants have been negative, which might show plants need a certain pH in a liquid to grow well. PH is still being researched all over the world and more and more is found each day, it’s possible that in the future, pH may be discovered that it can help liquids be able to function well with plants.
Acid rain may have some other reasons that it does not grow well with plants besides its pH, but it is still a possibility the solution is there. PH can be used with acid rain to be able to show how plants grow within different pH. The theory that the pH of a liquid affects plant growth might not be true, but through the example of acid rain, it could always be a possibility. If the theory in the future will be approved, scientists will be able to try to fix acid rain and other harmful liquids with pH and even affect how society grows plants today.

In a world where acid rain plagues our world, is this a sign of how pH can help plants grow better? There are possibly more ways to use pH than to measure and find acids and bases, thus through acid rain, it is possible for plants to grow better with the relationship of pH and acid rain. In order to understand the possible solution, an understanding of acid rain and pH is needed, as well as how they are related.
PH is a unit of measurement used to measure the acidity of a liquid, which helps society by identifying acids and bases.According to Experiment Central: Understanding Scientific Principles Through Projects, “The numerical measurement of acid and bases in a solution is called pH (the abbreviation for potential of hydrogen).” PH is measured through indicators, which can be used in two different methods. One method is by using a electrometric indicator. When the electrode is submerged into the liquid, it measures the potential difference and constant potential. These factors are used to find out the pH of a liquid, but this method is using only used by highly advanced scientists. The other method is to use dyes that change color when in contact with liquids (“Encyclopedia” 313). Litmus paper is a famous indicator (that uses dyes) because it is able to react with substances like acids and bases (“Acid”). After finding what the pH of a solution is, a pH scale is used to evaluate the data. In Experiment Central: Understanding Scientific Principles Through Projects, “The pH scale ranges from 0-14. Very acidic substances are at the lower end of the scale, with 0.0 being the most acidic, and very basic substances are at the upper end of the scale.” PH ranges from 0(acidic) to 14(basic)(“Experiment”). There are many formulas related to pH, and they all can be used to find pH or other factors. Encyclopedias of Science and Technology states, “The relationship between hydrogen-ion activity (aH+) and concentration(C) is given by Eq(1), where the activity coefficient y is a function of the total ionic strength (concentration) of the solution,” and “The effective concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is expressed in terms of pH, which is the negative logarithm of hydrogen-ion activity (Eq.2).”
Eq. 1: aH+ = yC
Eq.2: pH = -log10aH+
PH is shown through the amount of hydrogen ion activity (aH+) in it. Hydrogen ions in a solution is used to help solve hydrogen ion activity (Eq. 1), and hydrogen ion activity can be used to find pH (Eq. 2) (“Encyclopedia”). These method is used to separate acids and bases from each other into different categories.
There are two different types of solutions that are separated in terms of pH. The UXL Encyclopedia Of Science says, “Acids and bases ar chemical compounds that have distinct properties in a water solution”. The strength of an acid or base is dependent on pH. The more pH, the stronger the base (above pH 7), while the less pH, the weaker the base (above 7). Acids and bases are both related to pH. They react with substances that change when touched. Litmus paper is a famous indicator that is used. Acids and bases are commonly referred to when pH is mentioned. They react differently to different solutions, and are classified as weak or strong. They are all around the world harmful or helpful. According to UXL Encyclopedia of Science, “Acids and bases are sometimes described as the chemical opposites of each other. If the equivalent quantities of an acid and a base are combined, the two compounds react to form a salt and water.” This process is called neutralization, and it used to help the environment in society today. By using these methods, scientists are able to connect more things with pH.
PH is found everywhere today, even if it does not seem like it. Acids and bases are not harmful, unless they are very acidic or basic. There are acids in many foods, and is used to create fertilizer, refining oil and sugar. A well known base in today’s society is ammonia (“UXL”). Some acids are even needed to help the human body function, like acid in stomachs, which is needed to digest. Weaker acids and bases however are used more than stronger acids, for those acids are harmful. Some strong acids can burn skin, and lye(a strong base) can blind people (Nelson). In today’s society, many scientists have began to study pH and discovering more. It is difficult to find accurate data however, due to the information can easily be tampered with (“Encyclopedia”). Before understanding, the background for acid rain is also needed.
Acid rain mostly caused through pollution, and there are many chemicals in pollution. In World Of Scientific Discovery, “The prime culprits that create acid rain are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as gasoline vapor.” The pollution is mostly from power plants and factories, which harm the environment due the harmful burning of coal and oil. Robert Angus Smith was the first to discover acid rain in 1872 (100 years after the Industrial Revolution), but it would take a while before it would be noticed (“World”). It would be in 1970 where more research would occur (Lerner 18).
The reason why acid rain has become a problem is because of the affect and problems it has caused. It has affected lakes and other bodies of water through acidification. This has caused the ecosystem to change in a drastic way (Lerner 19). Due to these problems in water, it has caused most ecosystems more havoc than ever before. Small marine organisms in freshwater bodies are unable to live in harsh conditions with acid rain, so they are forced to migrate to other places instead. This also has caused larger animals to get into trouble because without smaller animals, the amount of food left for them is limited, thus causing the ecosystem large problems. The large effect acid rain has caused on society is the plants and soil. Soil acidification is caused from acid rain, and it leads to many problems with plants. It can cause plants to not function well with photosynthesis, and create leaching, which is when the minerals of a plants are removed, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Due to the soil interaction with acid rain, it can destroy entire rainforests due to their attributes that causes them to be the most vulnerable to acid rain. Acid rain even affects buildings, by weathering them and eating away buildings (“World”).
Acid rain is now known throughout the world, causing the world to begin trying to prevent it from causing any more damage. The NAPAP is an organization beginning to take action against acid rain, their name stands for National Acid Precipitation Program. They have began to crack down on limiting the amount of pollution that goes into the air, hence the Clean Air Act of 1970. They have began to add new inventions, that remove solid particles that cause acid rain in pollution, to new power plants (“World”).
The pH of acid rain is around 4.49, which is considered acidic (for it is smaller than 7) (Lerner 19). It is considered a strong acid due to its range between neutral and acidic. The more acidic a solution is, it will be less in terms of pH. Therefore, it is more acidic than most acids in the world. The more basic a solution is, the more pH it has (“UXL”).
Plants don’t grow well without certain care and treatment. Plants definitely do not grow well with acid rain, due to many problems acid rain causes to it, like limiting photosynthesis. Soil pH can cause some other problems in plants besides growth. Plants need a certain soil pH to grow as well, which can clearly show how pH of a soil affects plants. Leading to this conclusion, in the future, it may be possible to discover that the pH of a liquid can help a plant grow better with the example of acid rain (Lerner 21).
The data may show that the pH of a liquid can positively affect plants. Examples of acid rain show the effects that have caused with plants have been negative, which might show plants need a certain pH in a liquid to grow well. PH is still being researched all over the world and more and more is found each day, it’s possible that in the future, pH may be discovered that it can help liquids be able to function well with plants.
Acid rain may have some other reasons that it does not grow well with plants besides its pH, but it is still a possibility the solution is there. PH can be used with acid rain to be able to show how plants grow within different pH. The theory that the pH of a liquid affects plant growth might not be true, but through the example of acid rain, it could always be a possibility. If the theory in the future will be approved, scientists will be able to try to fix acid rain and other harmful liquids with pH and even affect how society grows plants today.
