1.) Power plants release the majority of sulfur dioxide and much of the nitrogen oxides when they burn fossil fuels, such as coal, to produce electricity.
2.) In addition, theexhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air.

Human activities are the main cause of acid rain. Over the past few decades, humans have released so many different chemicals into the air that they have changed the mix of gases in the atmosphere. Power plants release the majority of sulfur dioxide and much of the nitrogen oxides when they burn fossil fuels, such as coal, to produce electricity. In addition, theexhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air. These pollutants cause acid rain.

Question: The question is not complete. Find below the complete question and the answer.

Alab group was supposed to make 14 mL of a 36% acid solution by mixing a 20% solution, a 26% solution, and a 42% solution. However, the 20% solution was mislabeled, and was actually a 10% solution, so the lab group ended up with 14 mL of a 34% acid solution, instead. If the augmented matrix that represents the system of equations is given below, what are the volumes of the solutions that should have been mixed? mL

Volume of 20% solution= ?

Volume of 26% solution = ?

Volume of 42% solution= ? Round to the nearest whole number ml

Answer:

Volume of 20% solution= 3 mL

Volume of 26% solution = 1 mL

Volume of 42% solution= 10 mL

Explanation:

Find attached of the calculations.

Can someone SCIENTIFICALLY explain to me the formation of all types of Acid Rain? Plz

faust18 [17]

so basically

some fuels have an impurity in them which is sulfur.

When the fuel undergoes combustion, the sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide.

the sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapour in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is a type of acid rain.

Also

the high pressures inside a car engine may cause nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react and form oxides of nitrogen. the most common compounds formed inside car engines are NO (nitrogen oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)
