All plants and animals must have sulphur. Coal and oil are made from old plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They contain sulphur. Refineries can remove most of the sulphur from most of the oil turned into fuel oil or gasoline. Refineries, factories and power plants can remove the sulphur dioxide from their smokestacks. Frequently they do not. When they do not, the sulphur dioxide turns into sulphur trioxide. The Sulphur trioxide then when the sulphur trioxide runs into a cloud or a drop of water, it turns into sulphuric acid. When it falls to earth, it falls as acid rain. Acid rain is sulphuric acid falling to earth. In North Florida the rain accompanying the first cold front of the fall changed the pH of a swimming pool from 8 to 4. That indicates the amount of acid in the air over the Midwest and Midsouth of the United States. Right now technology exists to rid smokestacks of sulphuric acid.
Acid rain is acidic.
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.
Acid rain is made excessively acidic by a combination of sulphuric and nitric acid.
Sulphur Dioxide causes rain to become more acidic which makes acid rain.
Acid is in rain everywhere in the world
SO2 is an acid forming oxide, so with water it is acidic (acid rain!)
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
No. While all rain is slightly acidic,it is only considered acid rain if it is far more acidic than normal.
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
Acid rain is precipitation that's made acidic by pollution and causes harm to the environment.
Acidic gases causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are examples for that.
acid rain is made acidic by pollution in the air. acid rain erodes stone buildings , statues and kills plants and fish .
