Is nitric acid the weakest 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.


Which acid cause acid rain?

"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.

What planet has a nasty atmosphere of 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.


Does nitric acid forms acid salts?

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)

Which is more strong hydrochloric acid nitric acid or 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.
