What dissolves in rainwater to make acid rain?
Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide react with water to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
Which of these is formed by combining oxygen with metals?
oxides
What are the primary sources of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides?
sulfur oxides come primarily from coal burning in plants. Sulfur in coal reacts by combustion with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide. This reacts with ozone or a few other airborne chemicals to produce sulfur trioxide, which can react with rain and water vapor to create sulfuric acid. nitrogen oxides come primarily from high temperature devices, such as automobile and other transportation sources and coal burning plants. Nitrogen gas in the air reacts with oxygen in the air at high temperature to create nitrogen oxides, which can also react with ozone or other chemical agents to produce other nitrogen oxides which can react with rain and water vapor to create nitric acid. Also, carbon from any organic chemical can react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, which can react with rain and water vapor to create carbonic acid, but carbonic acid is a weak acid and is far less stable than sulfuric or nitric acid and can revert back to water and carbon dioxide easily.
What 2 pollutants react with water to produce acid rain?
sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides
What are harmful effects of nitrogen oxides?
Nitrogen Oxides are reactive. General name NOx refer to NO and NO2. They react and cause respiratory system damage.Example reaction of NO2 is as follow.2 NO2 + H2O → HNO2 + HNO3Nitric acid and nitrous acid are formed with presence of moisture in air and in the lungs. This is highly corrosive to the pulmonary system in the body.
What makes rainwater acidic artificially?
Nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides released into the atmosphere form sulfuric and nitric acid when they come in contact with moisture,
How is nitrogen oxides involve in the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere?
Sulfur oxides from the combustion of sulfur containing fuels for atmospheric sulfurous and sulfuric acid. Nitrogen oxides form nitrous and nitric acids.
What substance is mixed with rain to make acid rain?
Acid rain is formed when moisture in the atmosphere combines with nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides to make nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
What acids do sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides form?
Sulfuric and nitric acids.
What do sulfur oxides combine with to create nitro acid and sulfuric acid?
Sulfur oxides combine with water to produce sulfuric acid but not nitro acids. Nitro acids are a product of nitrogen oxides reacting with water.
What does acid rain contain most of?
Acid rain primarily contains sulfuric acid or nitric acid, which are formed when sulfur dioxide (SO2) or nitrogen oxides (NOx) combine with moisture in the atmosphere. These pollutants are released into the air from burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and vehicle emissions. Acid rain can have harmful effects on the environment, including damaging forests, lakes, and buildings.
How is sulfuric acid both a result and cause?
Acid rain forms when nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
What happens when you burn nitrogen?
Nitrogen is not flammable. Combining it with oxygen actually absorbs energy. Nitrogen forms various oxides including nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
How does acid precipitaion form?
Sulfur or Nitrogen Oxides in the atmosphere (often from pollution, but sometimes from volcanos) dissolve in rain, forming Sulfuric or Nitric Acids.
What dissolves in rainwater to make acid rain?
Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide react with water to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
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.
What is the formation of oxides of nitrogen and eventually nitrates as nitrogen fixing?
Reactions for the formation of oxides of nitrogen and nitrates as nitrogen fixing
