Rain is natrually acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide to produce carbonic acid.
CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3
Sulfur dioxide from volcanoes can also contribute to natural acidity
2SO2 + 2H2O + O2 --> 2H2SO4
Rainwater can be made even more acidic due to sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide from burning fossil fuels reacting to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid respectively.
3NO2 + H2O --> 2HNO3 + NO
Acid rain is more acidic than normal rain. This is immediately obvious from the term.Acid rain is neither gaseous or radioactive. It simply has a lower pH.
Sulfuric acid
fertilisers and acid rain
Burns your skin. Kills plants.The biggest effect of acid rain is on lakes and streams. It makes the water in them acidic. Fishes are not able to survive in this acidic water. This causes damage to trees. Acid rain also accelerates the decay of building materials and paint. The pollutants generated by acid rain also harm the human health.
Acidic oxides causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are gases for examples.
CO2
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
acidic rain if it penetrates into the soil pollutes the underground aquifers.this makes underground water unfit for drinking.
Acid rain is more acidic than normal rain. This is immediately obvious from the term.Acid rain is neither gaseous or radioactive. It simply has a lower pH.
Yes, but I wouldn't worry about it burning you. The typical pH level of acid rain is about 5.0. That makes it less acidic than lemon juice with a pH of about 2.5.
it kills the trees and makes em ugly
Acid rain is caused by, mainly, sulphur oxides and, to a lesser extent, nitrogen oxides dissolved in the rain.
Pollution, from both cars and factories. It dissolves into the clouds and makes the rain slightly acidic
Acid rain is acidic.
This is an acidic rain.
Sulfuric acid
Acid in acid rain causes a deterioration of stone and wood. It also makes soil too acidic for plants to grow and makes water to acidic for fish to live in.
