Acid rain is known to contain some acids. Name these acids and where from they come in rain ?

Answer»

Solution :Acid rain contains `H_2SO_4, HNO_3` and `H_2CO_3` (ALONG with SMALL amount of HCL acid). `H_2CO_3` is formed due to DISSOLUTION of `CO_2` of the AIR in water. `HNO_3` is formed by oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) present in the air to `NO_2` and `NO_3` and subsequent dissolution in water. `H_2SO_4` is formed by oxidation of `SO_2` present in the air to `SO_3` and then its dissolution in water
