Where does acid in acid rain come from?
Acid in acid rain primarily comes from pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere by human activities, such as burning of fossil fuels in vehicles and industrial processes. These pollutants undergo chemical reactions in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then combine with water vapor to produce acid rain.
How does acid rain damage rock or stone?
Acid rain can damage rock or stone by dissolving the minerals that hold the rock or stone together, leading to erosion and weakening of the material. Over time, the surface of the rock or stone can become pitted and rough due to the chemical reactions with the acid in the rain.
Where does the acid come from in acid rain?
The acid in acid rain results from carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides dissolving in the water droplets. All rain is slightly acidic from the carbon dioxide content, but the industrial pollutants (sulfur and nitrogen oxides) lower the pH further.
What a statues made of that might fizz in acid rain?
Statues made of limestone or marble may fizz in acid rain due to the chemical reaction between the calcium carbonate in the stone and the acid. This reaction forms carbon dioxide gas, which results in the fizzing or bubbling when the acid comes into contact with the statue.
What is the symbol for acid rain?
The symbol for acid rain is typically depicted as "H2SO4", which represents sulfuric acid, one of the main components of acid rain resulting from the reaction of sulfur dioxide and water in the atmosphere.
