Despite its simplicity, water has remarkable properties. Water expands when it freezes, has high surface tension (because of the polar nature of the molecules, they tend to stick together), and others. Without water, life might not be able to exist on Earth and it certainly would not have the tremendous complexity and diversity that we see.

Efforts to lower SO₂ to mitigate acid rain could worsen global warming by decreasing cooling effects. The concept of mole fraction, important for gas mixture analysis, is introduced along with Dalton's law, which connects partial pressures to mole fractions using hydrogen and oxygen mixtures as examples.

When snow melts rapidly in the spring, the stream or lake may be "shocked" with an excessive amount of acid. In the spring, at the time of acid snow melting, the various aquatic organisms are reproducing and are the most sensitive increases in acid.

Sulfur dioxide may remain airborne for 3-4 days.As a consequence acid rain derived from sulfur oxides may travel for hundreds of miles or even a thousand miles. Nitrogen oxides may persist for only about one half day and therefore may travel only tens or hundreds of miles.

It distinguishes between molecular equations, which show compounds as molecules, and ionic equations, which show them as dissociated ions. Examples of double-replacement reactions, including precipitate formation, and single-replacement reactions, where one element replaces another in a compound, are provided.

The tiny droplets of water that make up clouds, continuously capture suspended solid particles and gases in the atmosphere. The gases of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides are chemically converted into sulfuric and nitric acids. The non-metal oxide gases react with water to produce acids (ammonia produces a base).
