Question

Acid formed as a result of lightening reaches
the earth's surface through precipitation, thus
contributing to the acid rain as well as to the growth
of plants. Justify.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution :

During acid rain, the nitric acid formed as a result of lightening process in very dilute form is washed down to earth and reacts with metal carbonates to form nitrates.

`CaCO_(3)+2HNO_(3)toCa(NO_(3))_(2)+CO_(2)+H_(2)O`. Nitrates so farmed, act as excellent nurtients for the growth of plants.
