These two elements combine together with atmospheric water particles to make Photochemical Smog and "London" smog. When the water particles get much denser this forms with the NO and SO so create dilute sulfurous, sulfur and nitric acids which falls as rain resulting in acid rain.

What 2 pollutants react with water to produce acid rain?
sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides
What are the Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur?
N + o2 => no2 s + o2 => so2
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.
Damaging type of precipitation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen?
It is called,"Acid Rain".
Is smog an air pollutant?
Both the classic London smog (sulfur dioxide, fog and particulates) and the present photochemical smog (ozone, PAHs, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides oxides) are air pollution resulting from primary air emissions like hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides.
What is the term for damaging precipitation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen?
Acid rain is the term for damaging preciptation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.
How is nitrogen oxides involve in the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere?
Sulfur oxides from the combustion of sulfur containing fuels for atmospheric sulfurous and sulfuric acid. Nitrogen oxides form nitrous and nitric acids.
Could or precipitation containing pollutants such as oxides of sulfur and nitrogen to make them have a lower pH?
air polution
What 2 pollutants react with water to produce acid rain?
sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides
Does nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combined with water in the air to form photochemical smog?
yes
What acids are released by acid rain?
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
What health condition is caused by ozone and oxides of sulfur and nitrogen?
Asthma
Acid rain is composed mainly of the oxides of two elements give either?
sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)
What are three main types of air pollutants produced by electrical power plants in US?
1. Carbine Dioxide 2. Sulfur Dioxide 3. Nitrogen Oxide
What substance is mixed with rain to make acid rain?
Acid rain is formed when moisture in the atmosphere combines with nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides to make nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
What are the Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur?
N + o2 => no2 s + o2 => so2
What is the substance formed when water mixes with nitrogen sulfur oxides?
acid rain
