How are nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide involved in acid deposition?
Wiki User

These gases form acids (sulphuric and nitric acidsrespectively) by reacting with oxygen an water present in air the first rain of the season contains droplets of these acids and effect the all material which is hit by such rain.

Is Nitrogen Dioxide a brown gas?
Yes it is, its not sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide or nitric Oxide.
What acids do nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide form?
Sulfur dioxide produces Sulfurous acid when dissolved in water.SO2 + H2O ----> H2SO3Nitrogen dioxide produces Nitrous acid and Nitric acid when dissolved in water.2 NO2 + H2O ----> HNO2 + HNO3
What dissolves in rainwater to make acid rain?
Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide react with water to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
What is the chemical compound name for SO2?
If it is bonded to a metal, then it is a polyatomic ion, sulfite If it is alone, then it is sulfur dioxide
How does sulfur dioxide and nitrous dioxide get in the air?
high temperature combustion produces nitrous dioxide gas A2: There is no "nitrous dioxide" gas--only Nitric Oxide (NO2) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O; laughing gas). NO2 is produced by burning at high temperatures, say a car engine running lean; and also produced naturally by lightning. Sulfur dioxide can be produced by volcanoes or burning hi-sulfur fuels, like some grades of diesel.
What happens when sulfur reacts with nitric acid?
S + HNO3 = SO2 + NO2 + H2OWhen Sulfur reacts with nitric acid it forms sulfur dioxide , nitrogen dioxide and water .
Causative factor for acid deposition?
Sulfur dioxide
Is Nitrogen Dioxide a brown gas?
Yes it is, its not sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide or nitric Oxide.
What pollutants is a brown gas nitrogen dioxide sulfur dioxide carbon dioxide nitric dioxide?
Nitrogen Dioxide
What forms when carbon dioxide sulfur dioxide or nitric oxide combine with water in the air?
Carbon dioxide combines with water to form Carbonic Acid, Similarly Sulfur dioxide form Sulfuric acid and Nitric oxide form Nitric acid. These all falls on earth in the form of acid rain.
What acids do sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides form?
Sulfuric and nitric acids.
When sulphur oxide or nitric oxide is combined with moisture in the air then what is formed?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide combine with water to make acid rain. Nitric oxide is neutral but is rapidly oxidised to nitrogen dioxide.
How does deposition of sulfur dioxide occur?
It is caused from acid rain and the reaction of the chemical going into the atmosphere.
What acids do nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide form?
Sulfur dioxide produces Sulfurous acid when dissolved in water.SO2 + H2O ----> H2SO3Nitrogen dioxide produces Nitrous acid and Nitric acid when dissolved in water.2 NO2 + H2O ----> HNO2 + HNO3
When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide combine with water in the atmosphere form what?
Sulfuric acid and nitric acid are obtained.
How does nitric acid (HNO3) form?
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with OH in the atmosphere to form nitric acid (HNO3). Nitric acid can also form when nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with the nitrate radical (NO3) in the presence of atmospheric water
What can make rain more acidic?
Rain can be made more acidic by reactions with nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which react with water to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
