Explain, with Chemical equations involved, the formation of acid rain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`to` Acid rains are due to oxides of N, S and C (`NO_(2), SO_(2)`, and `CO_(2)`)
`to` These oxides dissolve in rain water and formed as acids `(HNO_(3), H_(2),SO_(4)`, and `H_(2)CO_(3)`)
`to` These come down to earth as rain and deposited on the earth.s surface.
`to` Acid - rain is more industrial areas .
Chemical equations involved : -
`NO_(2) + NO_(3) to N_(2)O_(5)`
`N_(2)O_(5) + H_(2)O + 2HNO_(3)`
`CO_(2) + H_(2)O to H_(2)CO_(2)`
`SO_(3) + H_(2)O to H_(2)SO_(4)` .
`to` The pH of acid rain is lessthan 5.6.
