Acid rain is the term for damaging preciptation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.
Nitrogen oxides are formed when fuels are burned at high temperatures in the presence of oxygen. The heat causes nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react, forming nitrogen oxides like nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These nitrogen oxides contribute to air pollution and can have negative effects on human health and the environment.
Acid rain
Acid rain is caused by, mainly, sulphur oxides and, to a lesser extent, nitrogen oxides dissolved in the rain.
Acid rain is caused by sulfur and nitrogen oxides.
It is caused by the emission of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere.
One condition is heat. This is why oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are sometimes formed in car engines where the temperature is high. Another condition is the presence of a suitable catalyst which will lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
Reactions for the formation of oxides of nitrogen and nitrates as nitrogen fixing
Acid rain is a type of damaging precipitation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen reacting with water in the atmosphere to create sulfuric and nitric acids. It can harm aquatic life, vegetation, and infrastructure.
Nitric oxide (NO) is very toxic by inhalation.
There are a number of possible outcomes: some of the resulting compounds are stable, others are very reactive. Common oxides of nitrogen are pollutants that are created in combustion of fuels. See link for details about oxides of nitrogen.
