What happens when sulfur and nitrogen mix with the water in the air?

Nothing happens to sulfur when mixed with air. Nitrogen is part of the gas combination that makes up air. Neither reacts with water.
However,
When sulfur is burned in air the S turns to SO2 which is soluble in water and forms sulfurous acid. Similarly when N2 is present in a zone of high temperature it may combine with oxygen to form NOx a group of oxygen/nitrogen compounds which may react with water to produce nitrous acid. These compounds in water contribute to acid precipitation (rain or snow)

What happens when pollution mixes with the water in the air?
The teo most common pollutants that mix with water in the air are sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) These pollutants create acids with water. The combination is known as Acid Rain or Acid Precipitation.
What happens when water vapor is lighter than nitrogen or oxygen?
Water vapor is a gas so it is in the air. Nitrogen and nitrogen are in the air too, but there is more nitrogen than anything in the air. I believe it rises because it is lighter, like a balloon filled with helium.
When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are released into the air they can cause?
It can cause acidic air.
When sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide are released into the air they can cause?
Acid rain
What are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides?
They are air polluting gases and main causes of acid rain
When sulfur and nitrogen mix wiith water in the air what do they form?
Charlie sheen
When sulfur and nitrogen oxide mix with water in the air they form?
Acid Rain
Does nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combined with water in the air to form photochemical smog?
yes

Is the air we breathe compound or a mixture?
air is a mixture of elements (nitrogen, oxygen, trace amounts of other elemental gases) plus compounds (water vapor, nitrogen and sulfur oxides, CO2)
When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are released into the air they can cause?
It can cause acidic air.
What needs to be mixed together to form ozone?
When sulfur and nitrogen oxides mix with water in the air, they form either smog or ozone
What happens to the nitrogen compounds that are not absorb by the plants?
A number microbes in the soil, water and air transform these nitrogen compounds
What is the pH of sulphur and nitrogen?
Sulfur is not soluble in water and it depends on the form the phosphorous takes as to what it will do in water, or air, for that matter. Liquid nitrogen does not have pH. pH is based on the measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in solution - there are no hydrogen ions in liquid nitrogen.
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 happens when air pollution gets into rivers?
Air pollution is generally acidic in nature, involving nitrogen and sulfur compounds that produce acid when dissolved in water, so when they wash out of the air in the rain, the result is known as acid rain. When acid rain gets into rivers, they acidify. This is harmful to fish.
