How might sulfuric acid enter the environment?

Answer 1

sometimes during volcanic eruptions, oxides of sulphur are emitted. sulphur trioxide will dissolve in rainwater to form sulphuric acid. SO3 + H2O --> H2SO4. sulphur dioxide will dissolve in rainwater to form sulphurous acid (H2SO3), and is then oxidised to form sulphuric acid.

Answer 2

Sulfuric acid can enter the environment through industrial activities such as mining, smelting, and manufacturing processes. It can also be released into the environment through accidental spills or leaks from storage tanks or transportation containers. Additionally, sulfuric acid can be produced naturally through volcanic eruptions or sulfur-containing rocks.

Answer 3

ndustrial emissions of sulfuric acid can produce elevated concentrations in the atmosphere. Sulfuric acid will exist as particles or droplets which may dissolve in clouds, fog, rain, dew, or snow, resulting in very dilute acid solutions. In clouds and moist air it will travel along the air currents until it is deposited as wet acid deposition (acid rain, acid fog, etc). In waterways it readily mixes with the water.

Answer 4

it begins when someone throws away a battery with sulfuric acid in it.

the process leaks the chemical down into the soil, ruining it. and making it unusable.

Answer 5

from the ancient egyptians, they discovered sulfuric acid when elephants were urinating acid.
