How does burning gasoline and coal cause acid?
co2+h20= carbonic acid
What is the process of burning a fuel such as coal or gasoline?
combustion
What is a cause of acid rain from burning coal?
All coal has some amount of sulfur in it. The sulfur burns into sulfur dioxide, which reacts with water to make sulfurous acid in the rain.
Is burning of coal a cause of acid precipitation?
Yes, burning coal releases carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These all combine with rain to form acid rain. Carbon dioxide actually forms a very weak acid rain but the others are more damaging.
What happens when coal chemicals are released into the air?
Chemicals released from burning coal cause pollution in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to global warming. Other pollutants cause acid rain.

What acid is the main acid in acid rain?
Sulphuric acid from burning coal.

What activity leads to acid precipitation?
Burning coal.
What forms coal oil and gas burning?
acid rain
What produces compounds responsible for causing acid rain?
Burning coal
How does burning contribute to acid rain?
It contributes by the burning of fossil fuels like coal that realeases sulphur
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.
What form of weathering forms from coal oil and gas burning?
Acid rain
