THE CHEMISTRY OF ACID RAIN

Natural rainfall tends to be just slightly acidic. As COj dissolves in rain droplets, sleet, and snow, carbonic acid—H COj, a weak acid—forms. [Pg.291]

The term acid rain refers to precipitation that contains strong acids—mostly sulfuric acid (H SO ) and nitric acid (HNO,). [Pg.291]

COj is the most important component of the atmosphere after N, O, and water vapor. [Pg.291]

When dissolved in water, CO forms carbonic acid  [Pg.292]

As was discussed in the section on chemistry in aquatic ecosystems (Chapter 24), after COj dissolves and forms carbonic acid, H COj can react with water to form hydronium and bicarbonate ions  [Pg.292]
