The burning of petrochemicals [oil, gas and coal] release large quantities of sulfur- and nitrogen-bearing gases that create the acidity in the rain. The water in rainclouds dissolves the gases, producing the acid.
Nitrogen dioxide bubbled into water produces nitric acid. Sulfur dioxide bubbled into water produces sulfuric acid.
