The reaction that shows how the acidic oxide N₂O₅ combines with water to generate nitric acid leading to acid rain is shown in the balanced equation here.N₂O₅(g) + H₂O(l) $\rarr$ 2 HNO₂(aq)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemical formula for nitric acid is $HNO_3$, not $HNO_2$, and the correct balanced chemical equation for the formation of nitric acid from nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) and water ($H_2O$) is $2 NO_2(g) + H_2O(l) \rightarrow HNO_3(aq) + HNO_2(aq)$, not the formation of two molecules of $HNO_2$ from $NO_2$ and $H_2O$.
