Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve very easily in water and can be carried very far by the wind. As a result, the two compounds can travel long distances where they become part of the rain, sleet, snow, and fog that we experience on certain days.

∙ 14y agoAcid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic. It has harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure. Acid rain is mostly caused by human emissions of sulphur, carbon and nitrogen compounds which dissolve in the water vapour in the atmosphere to produce acids. In recent years, many governments have introduced laws to reduce these emissions

What occurrence is a major source of gases that can produce acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the chief source of the gases that produce acid rain.
How can we deal with the chemistry of acid rain?
Acidic oxides causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are gases for examples.
When burning petrol in motor vehicles 2 gases form which contribute to acid rain What are the 2 gases?
Two of the gases that form from burning petrol are nitrogen and carbon dioxide. These are two gases that are contributing to the acid rain affect.
Why the acid rain and rust is a harmful effects?
ACID RAIN and RUST are harmful because it contains harmful gases like sulphuric acid etc... mainly sulphur gasesbecause of this harmful gases when they reach the atmosphere when it rains it forms acid rain as the harmful gases mix with the atmosphere .This acid rain will affect plants,animals humans and all living organism.The acid mainly occurs at industrial areas because of these harmful gases which are released by the industrial effluents.they are definitely harmful to the atmosphere.
What can pollution gases produced by factories and automobiles cause?
acid rain
How do you make acid rain for science?
Acidic gases causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are examples for that.
Are two sources of gases that produce acid precipitation?
rain,snow,sleet,coal,oil
What helps acid rain?
When poisonous gases like Sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxides get into the atmosphere, they get mixed with the water vapor and contribute to acid rain. The industries and automobiles are the major sources that release these poisonous gases.
What gases make acid rain?
ammonium, carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur
Where do the gases come from in the acid rain?
the gases come from factories
What is a rain that has gases?
A rain that contains gases is ACID RAIN.It contains oxides of sulphur and nitrogen.
What occurrence is a major source of gases that can produce acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the chief source of the gases that produce acid rain.
When dangerous rain containing polluting acid gases from factories cars is known as what?
Acid rain
Do cow gases cause acid rain?
No.
What is caused by harmful gases mixing with rain and snow?
acid rain
How is acid rain harmful for kids?
Because the gases that are contained in the formation of clouds for acid rain are dangerous.
Is rain water high alkaline?
Most rain water is mildly acidic, due to dissolved CO2 and SO2 gases emanating from automobiles and other combustion sources. This phenomenon is known as acid rain. The mild acid is what turns copper roofs green, for example.
