Description
Atmospheric aerosols play a significant role in climate change due to their involvement in cloud formation. Aerosol sulfates act as nucleation sites for cloud formation and have a general cooling effect on the earth’s climate; however, the exact mechanism for how this occurs remains unknown. My research focuses on sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and will determine how many water molecules it takes to induce the dissociation of the second acidic proton.
