yes, fossil fuels like diesel,petroleum and other by-products of petroleum are a cause behind acid rain.when they are burnt,they emit sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide into the atmosphere.these gases combine with moisture present in the atmosphere and turn into acid and precipitate down through rainfall.these acidic rainfall causes a lot of damages to the flora and fauna as well as infrastructure.

How are fossil fuel and acid precipitation related?
Acid precipitation and fossil fuels are related because, acid rain can harm living organisms and fossil fuels are made from the remains form living organisms.
Which fossil fuel could supply energy needs for about two hundred years but is linked to acid rain?
Coal
Can burning of fossil fuels cause acid rain?
Carbon dioxide makes very little contribution to acid rain. The carbonic acid formed when CO2 dissolves in the rain is extremely weak and CO2 is actually at very low concentrations in the atmosphere compared to oxygen and nitrogen. The primary culprits in acid rain are sulfer and nitrogen compounds emitted from fossil fuel burning and from volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions can also emit significant quantities of other acid rain forming substances. Things that contribute to Acid rain is mostly HNO3 (Hydronitrogen trioxide). Hope this helped ya :)

Are dust particles a cause of acid rain?
No. Acid rain is the result of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides put into the atmosphere by volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuels.
