the reactions of nonmetal oxides with water.
what contributes to help cause both acid rain in germany and smog in the united
Acid rain is acidic by certain pollutants in the air like, carbon monoxide/ dioxide.
Coal and oil release sulfur dioxide gas when they burn, which causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain.
I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.
NOx contributes to the formation of smog, acid rain, and deteriorates air quality, leading to respiratory issues and environmental damage. SO2 also contributes to acid rain and can harm vegetation, aquatic life, and infrastructure. Both pollutants are harmful to human health and the environment, and are regulated by environmental agencies to mitigate their impacts.
It contributes by the burning of fossil fuels like coal that realeases sulphur
rain with acid
Yes, Acid rain is rain with higher than normal levels of nitric and sulfuric acid.
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
carbonic acid rain and sulfuric acid rain
Acid rain can erode buildings, statues, and other structures made of stone or metal by reacting with the materials. It can also leach minerals from soil, affecting plant growth and water quality in rivers and lakes where it accumulates. Additionally, acid rain contributes to the deterioration of infrastructure like roads and bridges.
Fossil fuel in general contributes most to acid rain due to CO2 react with water and form carbonic acid. In the past few decades, it is say that coal contribute more of acid rain due to high sulphur contents. With reducing use of coal for direct heating and recovery of SOx to gypsum, the emission of SOx to atmosphere is likely to be less than the SOx and NOx emission from gasoline and diesel use in vehicle.
