Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere where they combine with water vapor to form .?
acid precipatation
What do sulfur oxides combine with to create nitro acid and sulfuric acid?
Sulfur oxides combine with water to produce sulfuric acid but not nitro acids. Nitro acids are a product of nitrogen oxides reacting with water.
Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen that combine with water vapor cause?
Acid Rain
How is sulfuric acid both a result and cause?
Acid rain forms when nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
Why does water leave behind chemicals when it enters the atmosphere?
It doesn't. Water normally absorbs chemicals from the atmosphere, such as carbon oxides and sulfur oxides. If you mean the remainder after evaporation, this is because the solid cannot dissolve in the gaseous water; this makes evaporation a useful technique in the separation and/or purification of certain chemicals.
Is Acid rain created when water vapor in the atmosphere absorbs carbon dioxide?
Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.
When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide combine with water in the atmosphere form what?
Sulfuric acid and nitric acid are obtained.
What do nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides make?
These two elements combine together with atmospheric water particles to make Photochemical Smog and "London" smog. When the water particles get much denser this forms with the NO and SO so create dilute sulfurous, sulfur and nitric acids which falls as rain resulting in acid rain.
Why the pH of rainwater is naturally below then 7?
Because water absorb easily carbon dioxide and other gases (sulfur and nitrogen oxides) from the atmosphere.
What 2 pollutants react with water to produce acid rain?
sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides
Does nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combined with water in the air to form photochemical smog?
yes
Why do you observe a decrease is the pH of distilled water when kept at free air?
Carbon dioxide is absorbed; also other oxides of sulfur and nitrogen if the atmosphere is polluted.
