Question

Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide produce acid rain.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Acid rain, or acid deposition, is a large term that includes any form of precipitation with acidic components such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to the floor from the surroundings in moist or dry forms.
2. Pollution from burning of fossil fuels is the major cause of acid rain.
3. The main chemicals in air pollution that create acid rain are sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen Oxides (NOx​).
4. As carbonic acid is a incredibly vulnerable acid, the capability of carbon dioxide on my own to generate true “acid rain” could be very limited.
5. Acid rain is due to commercial emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides (which form a lot stronger acids while equilibrated in rainwater).

So, the above statement is False.
