What else can I help you with?
Is acid rain a natural pollutant?
no, not really. acid rain has pollutants in it, but acid rain itself is not a pollutant
What pollutant is made when nitrogen dioxide dissolves in water?
The pollutant is acid rain
Why is acid rain a secondary pollutant?
yes it is
Is sulfur compounds an air pollutant?
Yes, it is! They will cause the acid rain.
Is car exhaust a primary pollutant What about acid precipitation or smoke from a factory or fumes from burning plastic?
Car exhaust contains primary pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, which are emitted directly into the atmosphere. Acid precipitation is caused by secondary pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Smoke from a factory and fumes from burning plastic can contain a mix of primary and secondary pollutants depending on the specific chemicals released during combustion.
Is acid rain an outdoor pollutant?
Yes, acid rain is an outdoor pollutant. It is formed when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere and react with water vapor, forming acidic compounds that fall back to Earth as rain or snow.
Sulfur dioxide combines with water vapor in the air to produce pollutant called?
Sulfur dioxide combining with water vapor in the air produces sulfuric acid, a highly acidic and harmful pollutant that contributes to acid rain.
What is the primary source of acid rain eastern US?
The primary source of acid rain is sulphur oxides e.g H2SO4,SO2,SO3 respectively
Is formaldehyde a primary pollutant?
No, formaldehyde is not considered a primary pollutant. It is a secondary pollutant that forms in the atmosphere as a result of chemical reactions involving primary pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides.
Is hydrocarbon a secondary pollutant?
No. Hydrocarbon is a Primary pollutant.
Why is Sulfur Dioxide considered a pollutant?
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is considered a pollutant because it can react with other compounds in the atmosphere to form harmful substances like sulfuric acid and sulfates. These substances can contribute to acid rain, smog, and respiratory problems in humans when inhaled. Additionally, SO2 emissions can damage vegetation and infrastructure.
Is acid rain a primary air pollution?
Acid rain is not a primary air pollution, in fact it should more correctly seen as a water or soil pollution problem. It is caused by sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are primary pollutants, being washed out of the air by rain, snow or mists and he resultant acid solution being precipitated onto soil or into watercourses and water bodies.
