What makes acid rain?

Question

for a science project my question is what makes acid rain

Answer 1

Acid rain is mostly caused by human emissions of sulfur and nitrogen compounds which react in the atmosphere to produce acids

Answer 2

sulfur. a yellow colored chemical though when combined with other chemicals may be a variety of colors, is produced by volcanic activity, and by burning of fossil fuels and in a lot of manufacturing processes, rises into the atmosphere and combines with elements in the atmosphere. the chemical name for sulfur is an S.When combined with hydrogen it becomes H2S, or hydrogen sulfide gas. When it attracts oxygen you find H2SO4 or sulfuric acid.Acidity is a substance that has hydrogen in combinations of two or more molecules. A base substance has one H as in NaOH or sodium hydroxide and is the opposite of an acid.A neutral solution or Ph 7, is a balance in to electrical charge.Acid rain happens when the element S is attracted in the atmosphere to Hydrogen gas and Oxygen to produce a low Ph and falls in the drops of rain that form.

Answer 3

For there to be rain the water vapor condenses on a surface, like a dust particle. As it falls to earth it picks up stuff in the air and brings it along for the ride.

Acid rain happens when there is pollution in the air. The pollution can act as the original particle or the stuff being dragged along (or both).

The pollution doesn't have to be man-made - it can be natural occurances like from volcanic activity.

Answer 4

acid rain happens mostly in places where factories are

because factories produce co2 which goes to the air

and then when it rains water (h2o)

reaction between them happens which cause (h2co4) which is acid

and it cause lots of damage to plants and cars

Answer 5

free nitrogen and argon particles in the atmosphere.

Answer 6

Pollution.
