How can we deal with chemistry of acid rain?
Acidic oxides causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are gases for examples.
What does the nature of non metallic oxides?
Non-metallic oxides are acidic. Some are gases and readily dissolve in water. Others react with bases, such as silica, SiO2 and B2O3
Is sulfur acidic?
No, elemental sulfur (S) is not acidic, mainly because it is insoluble with water.However both sulfur oxides: SO2 and SO3 are acid forming oxides (weak and strong respectively), like most nonmetal oxides are in nature.
How does acid rain cause chemical weathering?
The acid rains are due to acidic gases within the the atmosphere. Gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides get dissolved in the rain water, making the water very acidic. They lower the PH of the water below 3 from time to time. This sort of strong acidic water when falls on buildings/rocks, it tends to eat away their surface. So in this manner acidic rain cause weathering.
What gases react to make nitrogen oxides?
Nitrogen and oxygen.
What combines with water to produce acids?
acidic gases - e.g. oxides of non-metals - so oxides of sulfur and nitrogen will form acids

Are metal's oxides gases or bases?
Metal oxides are typically basic.

What is a rain that has gases?
A rain that contains gases is ACID RAIN.It contains oxides of sulphur and nitrogen.
Are oxides of Group 18 basic?
Trick question. Group 18 are the noble gases and none of these forms oxides!
What gases react to make nitrogen oxides?
Nitrogen and oxygen.
What gases are Emitted during volcanism?
gases emitted during volcano eruptions are basically oxides of shulphur,etc
What are the states of matter for Fe2O3 CO equals Fe CO2?
1. Iron and iron oxides are solids. 2. Carbon oxides are gases.
