Question

write down the chemical equation for the formation of nitric acid rain​

Answer 1

Explanation:

H2O (l) + H2CO3 (aq) ⇌ HCO3− (aq) + H3O+ (aq) Unpolluted rain can also contain other chemicals which affect its pH (acidity level). A common example is nitric acid produced by electric discharge in the atmosphere such as lightning

Answer 2

Answer:

Nitric oxide (NO) is formed during lightning storms by the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen, two common atmospheric gases. In air, NO is oxidized to nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which in turn reacts with water to give nitric acid (HNO3).
