How acid rain is formed? Give equation

1. Sulphur dioxide accounts for most of the acid rain problems.
   (a) When sulphur dioxide dissolves in water, sulphurous acid is formed.
   SO2(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO3(aq)
   (b) Sulphur dioxide can react with oxygen and water to form sulphuric acid.
   2SO2(g) + O2(g) + 2H2O(I) → 2H2SO4(aq)
2. Acid rain occurs when the pH of rain water falls between 2.0 to 5.5. This is due to the presence of sulphurous acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid in rainwater.
