What is the cause of acid rain?
Acid rain is caused by certain types of pollution, most usually from sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
Which gases in the air cause acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are the primary gasses.
What are the possible causes of acid rain occurring?
high concentrations of compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can cause acid rain if in the air.
What is the major causes of acid rain?
the main cause is sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide as they react with water to make sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively.
What is acid rain a result of?
The rain containing excess of acid is known as an acid rain. The rain becomes acidic because carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide (which are released into the air as pollutants) dissolve in rain drops to form carbonic acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively. Acid rain cause damage to buildings, historical monuments, plants and animals.
What does pollution in the air have to mix with to form acid rain?
Acid rain is any rain with a high elevation of hydrogen ions. Acid rain is caused with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide mix with the water molecules in the atmosphere that cause 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 impurities in fuels can lead to a sort of rain?
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide can lead to acid rain
What are the main chemical in air pollution that create acid rain?
Acid rain is created by sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide.
Name of acid formed when sulfur oxides mixes with rainwater?
I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.
What are the chemicals that cause acid rain and where do they come from?
Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen oxideThey are emitted into the atmosphere by industrial and vehicular pollution
What are all the gases needed to form acid rain?
nitrogen-dioxide and sulphuric-dioxide
