When coal is burned the sulfur mixes with oxygen and the sulfur oxides are emitted to the atmosphere. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) becomes sulfur trioxide (SO3) when responding with oxygen in the air.
<h3>How does combustion cause acid rain?</h3>
Power plants remove the major of sulfur dioxide and of the nitrogen oxides when they burn fossil fuels, such as coal, to make electricity.
The from cars, trucks, and buses remove nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air. These pollutants leads acid rain.
Hence, This reaction with water elements in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, a strong mineral acid. This makes rain acidic.
