Question

Consider the following:Carbon monoxideNitrogen oxideOzoneSulphur dioxideExcess of which of the above in the environment is/are cause(s) of acid rain?

Accepted Answer

Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.Source Citation: NCERT
