Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The main constituents of acid rain are H 2 SO 4 and HNO 3 . SO 2 and NO 2 after oxidation and reaction with H 2 O are major contributors of acid rain, because polluted air usually contains particulate matter that catalyse their oxidation. 2SO2 (g) + O2(g) + 2H2O(l) arrow underset textSulphuric acid2H2SO4(aq) 4NO2(g) + O2(g) + 2H2O(l) arrow underset textNitric acid4HNO3(aq)
