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.
Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen that combine with water vapor cause?
Acid Rain
Does nitric acid forms acid salts?
How does acid rain form? The burning of coal that contains a lot of sulfur produces sulfur oxides, substances composed of oxygen and sulfur. Acid rain forms when nitrogen oxides and Sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid & sulfuric acid.(Acid rain also another way of saying Nitric acid & Sulfuric acid)
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
Is sulfur acidic?
No, elemental sulfur (S) is not acidic, mainly because it is insoluble with water.However both sulfur oxides: SO2 and SO3 are acid forming oxides (weak and strong respectively), like most nonmetal oxides are in nature.
How is sulfuric acid both a result and cause?
Acid rain forms when nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
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.
What acids do sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides form?
Sulfuric and nitric acids.
Is sulfur oxide acidic?
Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water the give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids
Is sulfuric acid an example of how air is polluted?
A polutted air can contain sulfur oxides (as SO2) which are transformed in sulfuric acid by a reaction with water.
Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen that combine with water vapor cause?
Acid Rain
What makes rainwater acidic artificially?
Nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides released into the atmosphere form sulfuric and nitric acid when they come in contact with moisture,
What will be formed when water in the air mixes with sulfur oxides to form sulfuric acid?
Acid Rain will be formed.
Does nitric acid forms acid salts?
How does acid rain form? The burning of coal that contains a lot of sulfur produces sulfur oxides, substances composed of oxygen and sulfur. Acid rain forms when nitrogen oxides and Sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid & sulfuric acid.(Acid rain also another way of saying Nitric acid & Sulfuric acid)
What element has an oxide that reacts with water forming an acid?
Many, actually. What you are probably supposed to answer is "Sulfur". Sulfur oxides combine with water to form both sulfuric and sulfurous acid. These are credited with acid rain and blamed on high-sulfur coal burning electrical power plants and the use of high-sulfur diesel fuel.
What does acid rain contain most of?
Acid rain primarily contains sulfuric acid or nitric acid, which are formed when sulfur dioxide (SO2) or nitrogen oxides (NOx) combine with moisture in the atmosphere. These pollutants are released into the air from burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and vehicle emissions. Acid rain can have harmful effects on the environment, including damaging forests, lakes, and buildings.
What is the end of burning high sulfur coal?
It will create sulfur oxides and harm living things.
