    Acid rain is Precipitation that has a pH of less than that of natural rainwater (which is about 5. Due to dissolved carbon dioxide) acid rain is formed when sulphur dioxides and nitrogen oxides combine with water vapour and precipitate as sulphuric acid or nitric acid in rain, snow, or fog. The principal cause of acid rain is from human sources Industrial factories, power-generating plants and vehicles.

    The Chemistry of Air Pollution

    The Chemistry of Air Pollution Definition of Acid Rain


    Precipitation that has a pH of less than that of natural rainwater (which is about 5.6 due to dissolved carbon dioxide). CO2 + H2O H2CO3 (carbonic acid) It is formed when sulphur dioxides and nitrogen oxides, as gases or fine particles in the atmosphere, combine with water vapour and precipitate as sulphuric acid or nitric acid in rain, snow, or fog.

    The Chemistry of Air Pollution Causes of Acid Rain


    The principal cause of acid rain is from human sources
    Industrial factories, power-generating plants and vehicles Sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen are released during the fuel burning process.
