Answer is: sulfur.

Fossil fuel combustion increases the acidity of rain because the sulfur dioxide is produced.  

Because of fuel combustion, sulfur dioxide goes up into the atmosphere as the hot gases rise, than it reacts with water and oxygen in the air and form sulfuric acid:  

Balanced chemical reaction: SO₂(g) + 2O₂(g) + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄.  

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.

When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

Hello!
SOLID- atoms are packed tightly together with little movement. Has a definite shape and volume.

LIQUID- atoms are packed loosely together with some movement. Has a definite volume but NO definite shape.

GAS- atoms are spread out with lots of movement. Has NO definite shape or volume.

ICE- when a liquid turns into a solid (freezing).
WATER- when a solid turns into a liquid (heat is added)
WATER VAPOR- when a liquid turns into a gas (boiling)

Hope this helped!
