The burning of Fossil Fuels
Fossil Fuels

There are two possible types of acid in acid rain. 1) The acid formed from Carbon Dioxide (from natural Carbon Dioxide in air, from man burning fossil fuels and from volcanic gasses); Carbonic Acid 2) The acid formed from Sulfur Dioxide (from man burning fossil fuels and from volcanic gasses); Sulfuric Acid.
Some pollutants released from burning fossil fuels mix with water vapour and make it slightly acidic. This then falls as acid rain.
When there is a combustion of fossil fuels acid rain occurs from sulfuric, carbonic, and nitric acid. Fossil fuels may contain radioactive materials.
Some of the impacts of using a widespread of fossil fuels are global warming and pollution which causes smog and acid rain
Further use of fossil fuels especially those with a high sulphur content.
Co2 is released into the atmosphere and so is sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain
Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to the acid rain. Fossil fuels will pollute the atmosphere which will result into acid rain.
The burning of Fossil Fuels
Acid precipitation and fossil fuels are related because, acid rain can harm living organisms and fossil fuels are made from the remains form living organisms.
There are at least two elements which when burnt contribute to acid rain. Sulfur which when burnt and mixed with rain water forms sulphuric acid H2SO4 and Carbon which when burnt and mixed with water forms carbonic acid H2CO3 Both of these acids can be formed by burning Fossil fuels and also form naturally in the gases discharged by volcanoes.
Pollutants caused from burning fossil fuels are a primary factor. The two main gasses that create acid rain are Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide, both of which are byproducts of burning fossil fuels in different forms.
fossil fuels produce sulfur dioxide when burned because sulfur is present in them. things like coal which is carbon or gas which is a hydrocarbon are examples of this. fossil fuels are bad because sulfur dioxide causes acid rain. hope this helps :)
The fossil fuels burn and come up to the air as pollution. It gets into a cloud, and when it rains, there is acid rain.
it does not
