The two elements that are responsible for acid rain are sulphur and nitrogen.
Acid precipitation is formed when sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from coal fired power plants and mines processing ores with a high content of sulfur are absorbed by water droplets. This forms sulfurous/sulfuric and nitrous/nitric acids. Some of the sulfurous acid can be transformed into sulfuric acid.
The chemistry:
Sulfur dioxide and water form sulfurous acid (H2SO3)
SO2(g) + H2O(l) <--> H2SO3(aq)
In some cases sulfur dioxide (SO2) oxidizes to sulfur trioxide (SO3)
2SO2(g) + O2(g) -> 2SO3(g)
The sulfur trioxide (SO3) then combines with water making sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
SO3(g) + H2O(l) -> H2SO4(aq)
Some oxides of nitrogen like nitrogen dioxide (NO2) react with water to form nitrous acid (HNO2) and nitric acid (HNO3)
2NO2(g) + H2O(l) -> HNO2(aq) + HNO3(aq)

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.
Carbonic acid is the result of carbon dioxide dissolved in water, When carbonic acid is added to a rock and it bubbles, the rock is a carbonate.
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.
There are at least two elements which when burnt contribute to acid rain. Sulfur which when burnt and mixed with rain water forms sulphuric acid H2SO4 and Carbon which when burnt and mixed with water forms carbonic acid H2CO3 Both of these acids can be formed by burning Fossil fuels and also form naturally in the gases discharged by volcanoes.
Although all rain is slightly acidic due to carbon dioxide absorbed from air, the principle causes of problem acid rain are oxides of sulphur and nitrogen from fossil fuel combustion.
rain with acid
Yes, Acid rain is rain with higher than normal levels of nitric and sulfuric acid.
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
carbonic acid rain and sulfuric acid rain
by sulfuric acid
no, the acid haven't rain it
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
no, not really. acid rain has pollutants in it, but acid rain itself is not a pollutant
Acid rain can dissolve stones.
When Sulfuric Acid mixes with rain, it creates Acid Rain.
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.
