Sulfur oxides are created by:
* the combustion of sulfur containing fuels * the oxidation of sulfides * decomposition * volcanoes * the processing of sulfdic ores They are released to the atmosphere by point sources from these origins (stacks, vents etc) or as fugitive emissions from small leaks and losses

What is sulfur Oxides?
Sulfur oxides are the oxides of sulfur with oxygen in -2 oxidation state. There are two main oxides of sulfur. They are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3).
What is a major contributor to the formation of acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to acid precipitation. It is caused by sulfur and nitrogen reaction with the atmosphere.
What does burning high sulfur coal produce?
Sulfur oxides
How does sulfur affect rainwater?
Sulfur oxides contribute to the formation of acid rains.
What 2 pollutants react with water to produce acid rain?
sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides
How is nitrogen oxides involve in the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere?
Sulfur oxides from the combustion of sulfur containing fuels for atmospheric sulfurous and sulfuric acid. Nitrogen oxides form nitrous and nitric acids.

What makes rainwater acidic artificially?
Nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides released into the atmosphere form sulfuric and nitric acid when they come in contact with moisture,
How is green chemistry related to ride a bike?
No carbon, sulfur, nitrogen oxides, etc. are released in the atmosphere.
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.
Are sulfur carbon and oxygen oxides?

Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere where they combine with water vapor to form .?
acid precipatation
What substance is mixed with rain to make acid rain?
Acid rain is formed when moisture in the atmosphere combines with nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides to make nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
