Acid Rain (n). WHAT IS ACID RAIN (n) ?. Generally, rain water(n) has a pH value(n) of(prep.) 5.6 because of the carbon dioxide(n) from air(n) dissolved(v) in it( pn ). Any rainfall(n) has a pH value less than 5.6 is defined(v) as acid rain(n).

WHAT IS ACID RAIN(n)? • Generally, rain water(n) has a pH value(n) of(prep.) 5.6 because of the carbon dioxide(n) from air(n) dissolved(v) in it(pn). • Any rainfall(n) has a pH value less than5.6 is defined(v) as acid rain(n)
When gas pollutants(n) e.g. sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxidedissolve(v) in(prep.) rain water(n), various acids(n) are formed(v). • CO2 + H2O H2CO3 (carbonic acid)(n) • SO2 + H2O H2SO3 (sulphorous acid) • NO2 + H2O HNO2 (nitrous acid) + HNO3 (nitric acid)
Formation(v) of SulphuricAcid(n)(H2SO4) 2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g) SO3(g) + H2O(l) H2SO4(aq) Formation(v) of Nitric Acid(n)(HNO3) 2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g) 4NO2(g) + 2H2O(l) + O2(g) 4HNO3(aq)
