Which of the following contributes to acid rain?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acid rain is caused by the reaction of nonmetal oxides, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, with water in the atmosphere, forming sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The use of volatile acids in industry may contribute to air pollution and can potentially contribute to acid rain, but it is not the sole cause. The reaction of metal oxides with water can also produce acidic solutions, but this is not a major contributor to acid rain. The reaction of alkali metals with water is an entirely different chemical reaction that does not produce acid rain. Therefore, choice C is the best choice.
