rain or snow. most acid precipitation results from the combination of _____ with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with rain or snow. carbon dioxide buffers ozone ammonium sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides
Most acid precipitation results from the combination of <u>Sulfur Oxides and Nitrogen Oxides</u> with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with rain or snow.
Explanation:
Acid rain is said to be that rain which contains high concentration of H⁺ ions. The main source of acid rain is the elimination of NOₓ (Nitrogen Oxides) and SOₓ (Sulfur Oxides) from different means in industries and other combustion processes on earth.
Examples:
SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₄
NO₂ + OH° → HNO₃
From above examples it can be seen that the sulfur and nitrogen oxides when reacted with water forms strong acids. These acids come along with rain water and causes different problems to living organisms and non living objects like buildings.
