Carbon Dioxide is always in the atmosphere, so all rain has some carbonic acid in it.

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 gas is dissolved in acid rain that causes it to be acidic?

Two gases are the main cause of acidic rain. Sulfurdioxide (SO2) is a gas that is converted into Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in the air. Another gas is NO2 (nitrogendioxide) which is converted into Nitric acid (HNO3) in the air.


Name of acid formed when sulfur oxides mixes with rainwater?

I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.


What kind of rocks are most affected by acid rain?

Rocks containing calcium carbonate (Ca CO3), example limestone, tend to weather easily. The acid rain reacts with this component in sedimentary rocks and weaken the bonds between its constituent minerals, making it more susceptible to breaking away from the original portion.


What increased acid rain between 1955 and 1990?

The main factor that contributed to increased acid rain between 1955 and 1990 was the rise in industrial activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil. These activities released sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which combined with water vapor to form sulfuric and nitric acid, leading to acid rain.
