Carbon monoxide does not contribute to acid rain because it is not a product of sulfur or nitrogen combustion, which are the main culprits in the formation of acid rain. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels. Acid rain forms when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water vapor in the atmosphere to create sulfuric and nitric acids.
The rain becomes acidic because Carbon dioxide, Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide dissolve in rain drops to form Carbonic acid, Sulphuric acid and Nitric acid.
acid rain is when rain contains weak carbonic acid. This rain, as it falls, picks up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the air. all rain is slightly acidic because of carbon dioxide but it does no harm to us whatsoever.
carbon dioxide and acid
Causes of acid rain are as follows- 1. Sulphur Dioxide 2. Carbon dioxide 3. Smoke
Acid rain is created by sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide.
Usually Carbon Dioxide and Sulphur Dioxide (Sulfur Dioxide if you are American)
When acid rain comes into contact with limestone, it produces carbon dioxide gas. This occurs due to a chemical reaction that dissolves the limestone, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur Dioxide
an element is not the cause of acid rain but a compound called carbon dioxide co2.
Acid rain is acidic by certain pollutants in the air like, carbon monoxide/ dioxide.
