Question

Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, where they combine with water vapor to form _____ precipitation. clean heavy acid daily

Answer 1

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with acid.

Explanation:

Acid deposition or acid rain refers to a broad term that comprises any kind of precipitation with acidic constituents like nitric acid or sulfuric acid, which falls to the ground from the atmosphere in dry or wet condition. This can fall in the form of snow, rain, hail, fog, or even dust, which is acidic. When sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapors, they give rise to sulfuric acid, and identically when nitrous oxide reacts with water vapors it produces nitric acids, which transforms the water of rain into acidic form.

Answer 2

Answer:

acid precipitation

Explanation:

Smoke emissions from coal-based power plants, pulp mills, refineries, motor vehicles, as well as any gaseous pollutants emitted into the atmosphere, contribute to the formation of acid rain (or acid precipitation). Sulfur and nitrogen compounds are the main components of this rain, which can manifest both at the place of origin and hundreds of kilometers away.

Accordingly we can state that the plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, where they combine with water vapor to form acid precipitation.
