What else can I help you with?
What creates most of our sulfur dioxide acid rain?
Burning of fossil fuels, particularly in power plants and vehicles, is the primary source of sulfur dioxide emissions that lead to acid rain. When sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapor in the atmosphere, it forms sulfuric acid, which can then fall to the ground as acid rain.
Is acid rain a primary pollutant?
Yes
What natural processes can contribute to acid rain?
All rain is slightly acid from natural sources. The primary source of the acidic nature is carbon dioxide which is washed out by the falling drops. A more minor source is sulphur dioxide from volcanic action
Why is lignite coal a problem in eastern Europe?
it causes acid rain
Are volcanoes the only source of acid rain?
No, volcanoes are not the only source of acid rain. While volcanic eruptions can release sulfur dioxide and other pollutants that contribute to acid rain, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary sources. These activities emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which can react with water vapor to form sulfuric and nitric acids, leading to acid rain. Other natural sources, such as wildfires and certain industrial processes, can also contribute to the phenomenon.
Does acid rain affect your source of food?
It can indead affect your source of food and water.
What is a natural source for the chemicals that cause acid rain?
volcanoes
What petroleum by product is a source of acid rain?
Sulfur Dioxide
What petroleum by-product is a source of acid rain?
Sulfur Dioxide
Why is burning lignite coal a problem in Eastern Europe?
it causes acid rain
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.
What is the source of Carbonic acids in swimming pools?
Carbonic Acid, H2CO3 , or acid rain, is derived from rain mixing with the carbon dioxide in the air.
