What effect does acid rain have on limestone buildings?
when the sulfurous, sulfuric, or nitric acids in polluted air react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves.
Is sulfuric acid air pollution?
yes.
Why does exposure to atmospheric pollution change basic lead II carbonate into lead II sulphate?
Polluted air contains oxides of sulfur, which dissolve in water to form stronger (more ionized) acids than the carbonic acid from which carbonates are derived. Therefore, the sulfuric and/or sulfurous acids formed by water and polluted air displace the carbonates as carbon dioxide, according to the ionic equation (for sulfuric acid): CO3-2 + H2SO4 -> SO4-2 + H2O + CO2.
What does Combining sulfuric oxides and nitrogen oxides with moisture in the air form?
acid precipatation
How does acid rain happen?
Acid Rain happens whenever the air has been recently polluted
How is sulfuric acid related to acid?
Sulfuric Acid is an oxoacid of sulfur and is made of Hydrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen. It is produced by burning sulfur in air to produce Sulfur Dioxide, and then oxidizing the Sulfur Dioxide to Sulfur Trioxide. Sulfuric Acid can then be made from Sulfur Trioxide.
Where does acid rain originate from?
from the sky (polluted air goes up)
What does nitrogen from air react with to make ammonia for fertilizer?
sulfuric acid
What does the sea anemone do for self defense?
the secretion of sulfuric acid in the air
What is formed when water vapor in the air mixes with sulfur?
You get sulfuric acid.
What will be formed when water in the air mixes with sulfur oxides to form sulfuric acid?
Acid Rain will be formed.
What are the effects of the sulfur trioxide in the air?
It reacts with moisture to form sulfuric acid, resulting in acid rain.
