Question

(ili) Nitrogen dioxide is one of the causes of acid rain.
Two moles of nitrogen dioxide react with one mole of water to make an aqueous solution of two acids only.

One of these acids is nitric acid. Deduce the formula of the other acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the atmosphere SOz and NOx are transformed by reaction with oxygen and water into H2SO4 and HNO3 respectively . These acids get mixed with water and cause acid rain.In some countries HCl release by volcanic eruption is also a cause of temporary acid rain
