Solution
The rain containing an excess of acids is called acid rain. The rain becomes acidic because carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide, which are released into the air as pollutants, dissolve in rainwater to form carbonic acid, sulphuric acid, and nitric acid respectively. Acid rain can cause damage to buildings,
historical monuments, plants, and animals.
