The acids present in acid rain are ______.

Options

A. Peroxyacetylnitrate
B. `H_(2)CO_(3)`
C. `NHO_(3)`
D. `H_(2)SO_(4)`

Answer

B, C, D

Explanation

`CO_(2)` is slightly soluble in water forming carbonic acid.
`CO_(2) + H_(2)O rarr H_(2)CO_(3)`
The oxides of nitrogen undergo oxidation reaction followed by reaction with water vapours to form nitric acid
`NO + O_(2) rarr 2NO_(2)`
`2NO_(2) 6 H_(2)O rarr HNO_(3) + HNO_(2)`
The oxidation of `SO_(2)` into `SO_(3)` in presence of dust particles or metal ions. `SO_(3)`. then react with water vapours to fomr `H_(2)SO_(4)`
`2SO_(2) + O_(2) overset("Duet particles")underset("or metal ions")rarr2SO_(3)`
`SO_(3) + H_(2) rarr H_(2)SO_(4)`
