The release of oxides of sulfur and nitrogen into the air can cause acid rain?
true.
Which gases in the air cause acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are the primary gasses.
What is the environmental effect caused by oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide?
Nitrogen and sulphur oxides are poisonous gases which are released from vehicles and industries. They are poisonous and cause breathing problems and other respiratory problems. Not only this, these gases are most commonly referred air pollutants. Nitrogen oxides are among the few ozone depletors.
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
Can air be divided into compounds?
Air can be divided into compounds and elements. The major components of air are the elements nitrogen and oxygen, but most air also contains carbon dioxide and, at least in industrialized area, also oxides of nitrogen and sulfur that are compounds.
Does nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combined with water in the air to form photochemical smog?
yes
The release of oxides of sulfur and nitrogen into the air can cause acid rain?
true.
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 are three main types of air pollutants produced by electrical power plants in US?
1. Carbine Dioxide 2. Sulfur Dioxide 3. Nitrogen Oxide
What are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides?
They are air polluting gases and main causes of acid rain
Which gases in the air cause acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are the primary gasses.
What are the mixtures in the environment?
The mixtures include mainly:Oxygennitrogencarbon dioxidewater vaporsome air pollutants (as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, vehicle smokes, ... etc)
What can most air be polluted by?
Air can be polluted by: carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, organic compounds, fluorocarbons, smoke, fine powders, etc.
Could or precipitation containing pollutants such as oxides of sulfur and nitrogen to make them have a lower pH?
air polution
What are three main types of air pollutants in the United States?
Carbon Dioxide Sulfur Dioxide Nitrogen Oxides
What air pollutants are quite high in community?
carbon monoxide carbon dioxide paticulates sulfur doixide and nitrogen oxides
What needs to be mixed together to form ozone?
When sulfur and nitrogen oxides mix with water in the air, they form either smog or ozone
