When sulfur dioxide reacts with water in rain clouds, it forms sulfuric acid through the following chemical reaction: SO2 + H2O → H2SO3 → H2SO4 (sulfuric acid). Similarly, nitrogen oxides react with water to form nitric acid through the following chemical reaction: NOx + H2O → HNO2 → HNO3 (nitric acid). These reactions result in the formation of acid rain, which can have detrimental effects on the environment and ecosystems.

What reactions occur when sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide react with water in the rain clouds?

Oh, honey, when sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide get together with water in rain clouds, it's like a chemistry party you didn't ask to attend. They form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which can make rain more acidic than your ex's attitude. It's called acid rain, and it's not great for the environment, but hey, at least science is doing its thing.


What gases are clouds made of?

Clouds are primarily made up of water vapor, but they also contain other gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.


Chemical is caused by acidic rain?

sulphur dioxide condenses in the clouds, then it falls with the rain. PH 4


What elements are in fresh water clouds?

Fresh water clouds primarily contain water vapor, tiny water droplets, and ice crystals. Other elements found in trace amounts in fresh water clouds may include nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and various aerosols.


What gasses are on Venus?

The atmosphere is about 96% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen. There are traces of other gases such as argon, sulfur dioxide and water vapour.


Is air and clouds examples of gas?

Yes, air is a mixture of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Clouds are composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air. Both air and clouds can be considered examples of gases in the atmosphere.


What are Venus' clouds made of that makes the suns light reflect?

The atmosphere is mainly composed of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen but Venus' atmosphere is equivalent to that of 93 Earth Atmospheres.


Are clouds and air an example of gas?

Clouds are mostly made up of water vapor, which is indeed a gas. Air itself isn't a gas, but it is made up of many different gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and many others.


Which gases dissolved in clouds to make acid rain?

Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are two primary gases that dissolve in clouds and react with water to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, respectively. These acids can then fall to the ground as acid rain.


When burning a candle is there fission?

No. Burning a candle is a combustion reaction. As with all chemical reactions the energy released comes from the rearrangement of the electron clouds that form chemical bonds. The nuclei of the atoms remain unchanged.


What are the clouds that surround Venus made of?

Venus' atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide (this is what we breathe out) and the rest is mostly nitrogen. There is a very thick layer of poisonous clouds covering the entire planet. These clouds are made up of sulfuric acid droplets. (The clouds on earth are made up of water droplets.)


What is in the air'?

oxygen, carbon dioxide,and dust. There is 20% oxygen, 79% nitrogen and carbon dioxide.h2o , siguret smoke, pollution, clouds, acid rain, couldness,smoke,gases.jona lavallee.do you mean what is air made from?well air is mostly made from:argon,carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen. also there is traces of water vapour too.
