Acid rain is rainwater with a pH of 4-5 that contains sulphuric acid, nitrogen oxides, and a tiny quantity of hydrochloric acid.
Explanation:
- Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions combine with water molecules in the atmosphere to form acids, resulting in acid rain.
- Acid rain is formed by natural processes such as bacterial action or volcanic eruptions, as well as human actions such as the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, wood, and petroleum products.
- In addition, the major compounds in air pollution that cause acid rain are nitrogen and sulphur oxides.
- Acid rain is formed when nitrogen and sulphur oxides mix with water, oxygen, and oxidants to generate a mild nitric and sulphuric acid solution high in the clouds.
