Sulfur dioxide produces Sulfurous acid when dissolved in water.

SO2 + H2O ----> H2SO3

What acids do sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides form?

Sulfuric and nitric acids.


What is the other substance in the air that combines with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide to form acid precipitation?

Carbon combines with sulfur and nitrogen in order to form acid precipitation.


What acids are produced by the gases sulfur and nitrogen?

Sulphur is not a gas at room temperature. Nitrogen does not form an acid as such. They both need reacting with other chemicals, typically oxygen, then dissolving in (usually) water to form acids, Depending on the conditions and reactives involved there are numerous acids. The most common are: Sulphuric acid Sulphurous acid Nitric acid Nitrous acid But there are others, depending on the situation.


What is sulfur nitrate?

There is no such compound as sulfur nitrate. Sulfur and nitrogen can combine to form different compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), but sulfur nitrate does not exist.


How sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide is form?

Sulfur dioxide is formed by the combustion of sulfur-containing fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. Nitrogen dioxide is formed by the combustion of fossil fuels at high temperatures, which leads to the oxidation of nitrogen in the air. Both pollutants are released into the atmosphere primarily from industrial processes and vehicle emissions.


What two acids in pollution make acid rain?

Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides both react with water in the atmosphere to form acids, sulfuric acid and nitric acid.


How do chemicals make rain acidic?

Rain is natrually acidic due to carbon dioxide, which react with water to form carbonic acid. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from industrial process can also react to form sulfuric and nitric acids, which can make rain abnormally acidic.


What is the full form of so2 and no2?

What acids are made from SO2 and NOx?

In solution, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, respectively. These acids are found in acid rain, where the gaseous compounds become dissolved in falling rain.


One of the acids in acid rain forms when water combines with?

Acid rain contain traces of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. These gases when dissolved in water - as in cloud water droplets - form sulfuric acid and nitric acid [and probably also sulfurous and nitrous acids].


What kind of oxides form acids when they react with water?

Non-metal oxides such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and carbon dioxide (CO2) form acidic solutions when they react with water, producing sulfurous acid, nitric acid, and carbonic acid respectively.


When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide combine with water in the atmosphere form what?

Sulfuric acid and nitric acid are obtained.
