a) Coal is widely used as a fuel for power plants. Coal not only contains carbon, but nitrogen and sulphur. The burning of all three elements produces oxides that are released into the atmosphere Carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide. Explain the effect of releasing these oxides into the atmosphere on the pH of local water ways and in particular on crustaceans that live on rocks near these plants. Provide two chemical reactions and four dot points relating to acids and bases.
