Nitric acid = Aqua Fortis, Spirit of Nitre
Sulfuric acid = Oil of Vitriol, or simply Vitriol
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Nitric Acid (HNO3)
Drops of nitric or sulfuric acid falling to the ground can lead to environmental damage by contaminating soil and water sources, disrupting ecosystems, and harming plant and animal life. Acid rain can also contribute to the deterioration of buildings and monuments, as well as human health issues.
Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is an effective neutralizer for sulfuric acid.
How does acid rain form? The burning of coal that contains a lot of sulfur produces sulfur oxides, substances composed of oxygen and sulfur. Acid rain forms when nitrogen oxides and Sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid & sulfuric acid.(Acid rain also another way of saying Nitric acid & Sulfuric acid)
Strong acid is classified as one which dissociates completely to liberate all the H+ ions of the compound when dissolved in water. Generally, both nitric acid and sulfuric acid are classified as strong acids. The strength of acids is measured by the acid dissociation constant (pKa). The lower the value, the stronger the acid is. Sulfuric acid has a value of -3, while nitric acid has a value of -1.64. Thus, sulfuric acid is a stronger acid as compared to nitric acid.
No. Nitric acid is a very strong acid. However, it's not the strongest acid in the world, though. Sulfuric acid is stronger than nitric acid, but the carbonic superacids are also stronger than sulfuric acid.
"Acid rain" has a slightly lower pH due to the presence of SO2 and NOx. These form extremely dilute sulfuric and nitric acids. CO2 can also dissolve to form carbonic acid, but that is negligible in its effect compared to sulfuric and nitric acid.
Economically they are sulfuric and hydrochloric acid but nitric acid is also extremely important.
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Nitric Acid (HNO3)
Nitric acid, HNO3 , also known as aqua fortis and spirit of nitre, is a highly corrosive and toxic and strong acid.
Drops of nitric or sulfuric acid falling to the ground can lead to environmental damage by contaminating soil and water sources, disrupting ecosystems, and harming plant and animal life. Acid rain can also contribute to the deterioration of buildings and monuments, as well as human health issues.
Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is an effective neutralizer for sulfuric acid.
Yes, although it is different from acid rain on Earth. Earth's acid rain is water with small amounts of sulfuric and nitric acid. On Venus the rain is almost entirely sulfuric acid, with no liquid water. However, this rain evaporates before it reaches the ground.

Nitric Acid is used to make Ammonium Nitrate
Sulfuric acid is also known as battery acid, dihydrogen sulfate, electrolyte acid, hydrogen sulfate, mattling acid, oil of vitriol, spirit of sulfur, sulphuric acid, and acide sulfurique.
