1.) List a few of the gases which lead to acid rain.
Acid Rain is created by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides when fuels get burned.
2.) What is the source of much of the acid rain producing gases in Pennsylvania?
30 % of the nitrogen oxides causing the acid rain is from power production. Cars create another 30% and agricultural sector makes 25-30%.
3.) Briefly explain how acid rain forms.
Acid Rain forms when the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere combine with water to forms sulfuric and nitric acid that fall on Earth. Thus creating acid rain.
