Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A chemical reaction, showing the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Acid rain is the result of air pollution. The harmful gases released from factories, vehicles, and power stations react with the moisture present in the atmosphere, in the presence of oxygen, and forms acid rain.

Gases, especially sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, contribute to the formation of acid rain.

Usually the pH of acid rain varies from 4.0 to 4.6.
