Basically, fuels from factories, cars, lorries, etc. are released into the atmosphere and when clouds form, the sulphur dioxide gets dissolved into the clouds. The rain then becomes polluted with sulphuric acid and thus becomes acid rain.

How can sulphur dioxide effect humans?
it can cause acid rain which causes corrosion of buildings
What is the major causes of acid rain?
the main cause is sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide as they react with water to make sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively.
What is Sulphur dioxide gas used for?
For acid rain
Where does acid in acid rain come from?
Sulphur Dioxide causes rain to become more acidic which makes acid rain.
Where do the chemicals from acidic rain come from?
Sulpur Dioxide is the main chemical in acid rain. The Sulphur contained in coal, (which is burnt for industrial purposes) is released into the atmoshpere as Sulphur Dioxide. The Sulphur dioxide can be blown by the wind and reacts with water (clouds) to form Acid Rain.
What is the substance that causes the acid rain?
Sulphur , in a form of sulphur dioxide or sulphur oxide , I think. Acid rain can be caused by either nitric oxide or sulfur dioxide in the air, which result from the burning of fossil fuels.
What is acid rain a result of?
The rain containing excess of acid is known as an acid rain. The rain becomes acidic because carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide (which are released into the air as pollutants) dissolve in rain drops to form carbonic acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively. Acid rain cause damage to buildings, historical monuments, plants and animals.
What is acid rain and its causes?
Causes of acid rain are as follows- 1. Sulphur Dioxide 2. Carbon dioxide 3. Smoke
What pollutants form acid rain?
sulphur dioxide =D
What if there is too much sulphur dioxide in the air?
Then you will get acid rain:) :) :) :)
What impurities in fuels can lead to a sort of rain?
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide can lead to acid rain
Which gas is in acid rain?
Usually Carbon Dioxide and Sulphur Dioxide (Sulfur Dioxide if you are American)
