Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere where they combine with vapor to form?
They combine in the air to form acid precipitation
When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide combine with water in the atmosphere form what?
Sulfuric acid and nitric acid are obtained.
Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere where they combine with water vapor to form .?
acid precipatation
How is nitrogen dioxide removed from the atmosphere?
it is removed through lightning
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.
Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere where they combine with vapor to form?
They combine in the air to form acid precipitation
How are fossil fuels related to air pollution and acid precipitation?
When fossil Fuels are burned, they release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere causing air pollution. When these pollutants combine with water in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which makes acid precipitation.
When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide combine with water in the atmosphere form what?
Sulfuric acid and nitric acid are obtained.

acid precipatation
What is the other substance in the air that combines with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide to form acid precipitation?
Carbon combines with sulfur and nitrogen in order to form acid precipitation.
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
Is sulfur dioxide and nitrogen combine with water in the atmosphere physical or chemical change?
its a chemical change which forms suphurous acid (H2SO3) and nitric acid (HNO3)
What is the role of microorganisms in returning nitrogen or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
this microorganisms is called denitrifying bacteria, it helps to decompose the nutrients (nitrogen) back to the atmosphere. and the process of returning nitrogen or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is called denitrification.
What planet has carbon dioxide and nitrogen in its atmosphere?
Earth, Mars and venus all have nitrogen and Carbon dioxide in their atmosphere, though the levels vary from planet to planet.
Is nitrogen in the atmosphere about 380ppm?
No. Nitrogen is about 78% of the atmosphere or 780,000 ppm. 380 ppm is about the concentration of carbon dioxide
What is a major contributor to the formation of acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to acid precipitation. It is caused by sulfur and nitrogen reaction with the atmosphere.
What if the atmosphere of venus made of?
carbon dioxide , nitrogen
