Which acid rain will be formed in the acid rain?
Answers
Answer:
Hi,
Explanation:
Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.
Answer:
How is acid rain formed?
Acid rain is one of the consequences of air pollution. It occurs when emissions from factories, cars or heating boilers contact with the water in the atmosphere. These emissions contain nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, which when mixed with water become sulfurous acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. This process also occurs naturally through volcanic eruptions.
Acid rain effects
The resulting acids are precipitated to earth as rain or snow with very negative consequences: on the one hand the damage to nature in the form of acidification of soils, lakes and seas with consequent damage to terrestrial and marine flora and fauna. On the other hand, acid rain also causes corrosion of metallic elements -buildings, bridges, towers and other structures- and the destruction of human heritage made of limestone -buildings and historic structures, statues, sculptures... -
