Yes, acid rain can be deadly. It is known to damage houses and cars. The worst part is that it is known to kill plant life, animals, particularly aquatic life, and to threaten people by poisoning the environment around them. Acid rain is cased by the pollution of the air, particularly though the incineration of materials that release compounds of sulfur and nitrogen. These combine with moisture in the air to create low pH precipitation (acid rain), and the acids attack things as noted. A link can be found below. "Acid Rain" is generally quite dilute ... maybe 0.001 to 0.0001 M nitric or sulfuric acid, which still measures pretty far into the acid portion of the pH scale. Acid rain has a pH comparable to that of Tomato Juice (about 4), and wouldn't do much to your skin at all, though it would probably sting your eyes quite a bit.
What else can I help you with?
What does pollution in the air have to mix with to form acid rain?
Pollution in the air, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, mixes with water vapor to form acid rain. When these pollutants in the atmosphere react with rainwater, they create acidic compounds like sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.
Can smoke from factories cause acid rain?
Yes, smoke from factories can contribute to the formation of acid rain. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the smoke combine with water vapor in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, leading to acid rain. This acid rain can harm ecosystems, damage buildings, and affect water quality.
What is the difference between acid rain and rain?
Acid rain is different to regular rain as it contains compounds of nitric oxide and other gases that have combined with water vapour in rain clouds to become acid rain...at least, i think so : )
What does Combining sulfuric oxides and nitrogen oxides with moisture in the air form?
acid precipatation
How does acid rain affect peoples lives?
* acid rain damages crops because it increases the acidity of soil. * acid rain corrodes buildings and structures especially those made of marble such as taj mahal. * acid rain causes acidification of water in the lakes and rivers which causes the destruction of living things in water.
What is rain acid?
rain with acid
Is acid rain rain with acid?
Yes, Acid rain is rain with higher than normal levels of nitric and sulfuric acid.
Is rain a type of acid?
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
Different types of acid rain?
carbonic acid rain and sulfuric acid rain
Does acid have rain it?
no, the acid haven't rain it
How can rain be acid rain?
by sulfuric acid
Is acid the same thing as rainwater?
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
Is acid rain a natural pollutant?
no, not really. acid rain has pollutants in it, but acid rain itself is not a pollutant
How does acid rain effect stone?
Acid rain can dissolve stones.
What happen when H2SO4 get mixed rain?
When Sulfuric Acid mixes with rain, it creates Acid Rain.
Can the acid level of acid rain increase?
Yes, the level of acid rain can increase. As acid rain falls on objects that have already been hit with acid rain, the acid builds up and becomes stronger.
Is sulfurics acid acid rain?
Sulfuric acid is present in rain along with nitric acid.
