The cause of acid rain is air pollution from burning fusel fuels nitrogen oxides (NOx). When exposed to the atmosphere, these react with water to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid, components of acid deposition. Power plants are one of the main causes of acid rain

Is acid rain dissolving paint off a wall a chemical change?
yes it is
Why acid rain is formed?
Acid rain is formed because of the pollution in the air.
Which acid is formed by dissolving hydrogen?
I guess H3O+
Which activity demonstrate chemical weathering?
dissolving of limestone by acid rain
What happen when H2SO4 get mixed rain?
When Sulfuric Acid mixes with rain, it creates Acid Rain.
How were the Florida cavern formed?
The Florida Caverns are limestone caves and were formed by rain water dissolving the limestone.
Classify freezing or thawing oxidation water dissolving chemicals in rock abrasion acid rain?
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
Caves are formed by erosion from?
Most caves are in limestone, and formed by carbonic acid - rain-water acidified by dissolved carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere - dissolving the rock as it sinks through the joints and other fractures in the rock mass.
What does acid rain do to rocks and buildings?
It chemically weathers them, slowly dissolving their outer surfaces.
Can water weather rock by gradually dissolving it?
Yes, if the water is acidic(acid rain)
How does the formation of stalactite related to the action of acids on calcium carbonate?
The acid is Carbonic Acid, formed by Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere dissolving into rain-water, and though very weak capable of dissolving limestone whose main constituent is calcium Carbonate. The stalactites are of calcite, crystallised calcium carbonate precipitated from that solution.
What chemicals make up acid rain?
Although rain is slightly acidic naturally from carbon dioxide exposure, acid rain (the very low pH rain) is associated with sulphur and nitrogen oxides dissolving in the rain.
