reactions of acid rain

[Annie Ye]

What are the chemical reactions that produce acid rain? How is acid rain reduced?

[Maya Pakulski 1D]

The chemical equations that produce acid rain are done in a few parts. In regards to nitric acid the first equation that takes place is N2 +O2 =2NO, then the second equation is 2NO + O2 = 2NO2. The last equation that happens is 3NO2 + 3H2O = (2H3O+) + (2NO3-) + NO. Sulfuric acid is formed in three different parts as well. The first reaction is SO2 + H2O = H2SO3, the next reaction is 2SO2 + O2= 2SO3, and the last reaction that takes place to form the sulfuric acid is SO3 + 2H2O = (H3O+) + (HSO4-). All of these equations and more details about acid rain can be found on pages 490-491 of the textbook.

When compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air and when they mix with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form acid rain. Acid rain can be reduced by producing energy without fossil fuels. People can use renewable energy resources such as solar and wind power instead. Using renewable energy resources help reduce acid rain because there is less pollution
