A pollutant that is mostly associated with acid rain is?

A. Nitrogen (IV) oxide
B. Ozone
C. Flourine
D. Carbony (IV) oxide

Correct Answer:

Option A – Nitrogen (IV) oxide

Explanation

The main chemicals in air pollution that create acid rain are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen (NOx). Acid rain usually forms high in the clouds where sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen, and oxidants. This mixture forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid.

Nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide are referred to together as oxides of nitrogen (NOx). NOx gases react to form smog and acid rain
