no! global warming ias totaly different. for starters acid rain is a form of acid deposition while global warming is a form of polution destroying the arctic. they are both polution like but completely different types!

∙ 9y agoAcid rain does not contribute to global warming.
When fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt they release carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. This causes global warming. The burning also releases sulphur and nitrous oxides which mix with water vapour and rain in the atmosphere to cause acid rain.

∙ 9y agoNo, acid rain is a side effect of global warming. When fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt they release carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. This causes global warming. The burning also releases sulphur and nitrous oxides which mix with water vapour and rain in the atmosphere to cause acid rain.
Acid rain damages crops, humans and buildings, but it does not in any way contribute to global warming.

∙ 10y agoSulphur dioxide is a harmful gas, it is released into the air by pollutants (mainly by factories). It mixes with water and it reacts, then in the clouds, rainwater becomes acidic due to harmful gases like sulphur dioxide or oxides of nitrogen. Then if it rains, obviously it will cause acid rain.

∙ 12y agoGlobal warming is one of the reason behind acid rain.
Global warming is caused by increasing concentration of green house gases such as water vapour, carbon dioxide, ozone, methane and nitrous oxide.These green house gases when mixed with atmospheric water produce acid rain.

Which pollutants are considered to contribute to the pollution problem known as acid precipitation?
Smoke containing sulfur. Oddly enough, acid rain has been proven to combat greenhouse gases.
Does acid rain forms when certain gases in the air mix with rain?
Yes!
How can we deal with chemistry of acid rain?
Acidic oxides causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are gases for examples.
What do you call carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide?
They are both acidic gases. Reason, when dissolved in water they form carbonic acid(H2CO3) and sulphurous acid(H2SO3)
Why are lead compounds added to petrol and how it is harmful?
lead compounds are harmful if added to petrol as it cause cancer, poison the catalytic converter (use to convert harmful gases into less harmful gases/harmless, emmision of greenhouse gases and increase the amount of oxides of nitrogen which results in acid rain.
Does using unleaded petrol reduce the greenhouse effect?
Yes because unleaded produces less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases than leaded petrol. it leads to a reduction in greenhouse gases and acid rain.
What are solutions to acid rain?
Less industrial air pollution will do it. But are you sure that's a good idea? A 2011 study found that acid rain combats greenhouse gases, therefore lowering global warming.
Which pollutants are considered to contribute to the pollution problem known as acid precipitation?
Smoke containing sulfur. Oddly enough, acid rain has been proven to combat greenhouse gases.
Where do the gases come from in the acid rain?
the gases come from factories
What is a rain that has gases?
A rain that contains gases is ACID RAIN.It contains oxides of sulphur and nitrogen.
What occurrence is a major source of gases that can produce acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the chief source of the gases that produce acid rain.
When dangerous rain containing polluting acid gases from factories cars is known as what?
Acid rain
Do cow gases cause acid rain?
No.
What is the connection between the cutting of Brazilian rainforest and greenhouse efffect?
The rain-forests are important to the environment because they filter gases, such as carbon and methane, common greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere. Without them, there is nothing to stop the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases then trap more heat, adding to global warming. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!
What is caused by harmful gases mixing with rain and snow?
acid rain
How is acid rain harmful for kids?
Because the gases that are contained in the formation of clouds for acid rain are dangerous.
How do you make acid rain for science?
Acidic gases causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are examples for that.
