what os acid rain and describe its effect

Sowmya Konkala 18th Mar, 2021

Hello aspirant,

Acid rain describes a form of precipitation that contains high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids. It can also occur in the form of snow, fog, and tiny bits of dry material that settle to Earth. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 5.6, while acid rain has ph between 4.2-4.5.the effects of acid rain could be many like climate change,it has major polutants which are harmful to people on earth.these pollutants damage both the environment and health of people.it also causes some serious problems to aquatic life.few of them can tolerate but many aquatic life die which eventually causes a disturbance in food chain.it also spoils the soil of the forest which contains essential nutrients,hence no water to plants and trees so it causes problems to forests as well.hence it causes some serious problems .

Hope this helps,

Thankyou.

write any harmful effect of acid rain

shankhalikamallick 14th Dec, 2020

Hi there!

Acid rain is any form of precipitation with acidic components. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulphur dioxide dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Acid rain has adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters, and soils, killing insect and aquatic life-forms, causing paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues.Many bacteria and blue green algae are killed due to acidification, disrupting the whole ecological balance.

Acid contaminates with potable water and enter man’s body. The heavy metals released by acid rain may cause potential threat to human health.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

what is Acid rain? Describe its effect. in about 150 words

pdwords Student Expert 7th Dec, 2020

Hello,

Acid rain is precipitation of rain having acidic components such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, the acidic decomposition can take place in two ways; dry and wet, acid rains washes away all the nutrients which are important for the growth of the plant, it adversely affect agriculture by changing the composition of the soil, similarly the aquatic ecosystem is impacted as it pollutes the water changing the chemical composition of the water, it's one of the cause of respiratory diseases in living beings, it deteriorates building and monuments made of stones and metals.one of the effective way to curb acid rain is to check the emission of acidic components, and adopt renewable form of energy to have fewer emissions.

mjaisinghani62 25th Nov, 2020

Hello aspirant

Acid rain, or acid deposition, is a broad term that includes any form of precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to the ground from the atmosphere. These may be  in wet or dry forms.  This can include rain, snow, fog, hail or even dust that is acidic.

Acid rain results when sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are emitted into atmosphere and transported through air and wind

ACid rain cause harmful effects on living forms , when it enters oceans or rivers aquatic animals due because of high acidic conditions.

what is acid rain ? Explain its effects

Soumili Majumdar 4th Oct, 2020
Hello there,

Acid rain is made up of highly acidic water droplets due to air emissions, most specifically the disproportionate levels of sulphur and nitrogen emitted by vehicles and manufacturing processes. Often called acid rain as this concept contains many types of acidic precipitation. The causes of acid rain are Sulphur and Nitrogen particles which get mixed with the wet components of rain.


The effects of Acid Rain are as follows:

1. Acid rain is very harmful to agriculture, plants, and animals. It washes away all nutrients which are required for the growth and survival of plants. Acid rain affects agriculture by the way how it alters the composition of the soil.

2. It causes respiratory issues in animals and human.

3. It damages the buildings and monuments made up of stones and metals.

4. When acid rain falls down and flows into the rivers and ponds it affects the aquatic ecosystem. As it alters the chemical composition of the water, to a form which is actually harmful to the aquatic ecosystem to survive and causes water pollution.

5. Acid rain also causes the corrosion of water pipes which further results in leaching of heavy metals such as iron, lead and copper into drinking water.


Hope this answer helps you.
Thank you!!

what is the value pH value of Clean Water and Acid Rain?

Duggisetty Tarun 21st Sep, 2020

Dear aspirant,

Hope you and your family are safe in this pandemic situation.

As coming to the query, pH is a measurement of electrically charged particles in a substance. It indicates how acidic or alkaline  that substance .The ph value of most cleaning water lies between 6 to 8.5.Generally natural water has low ph value.

when rain combines with sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides and produced from power plants and automobiles and the rain becomes much more acidic. Typical acid rain has a ph value of 4.0.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

what is acid rain? describe the effect

G VIJAYALAKSHMI 5th Aug, 2020

Dear candidate

When the pH of the rain is less than 5 then it is called acid rain is due to the poisonous gasses like SO2 and NOx released from the industries due and increased vehicle use and on the road into the atmosphere which leads pollution these gasses travel through air and Combine woth oxygen and other chemicals in the water leads to the formation of sulfuric and nitric acids and these react with water of rain makes the rain acidic. SO2 and NOX are the compounds which are majorly responsible for  acid rain. The yellowish colour of marbel of Taj Mahal was due to this rain as area around taj mahal was highly polluted and there are lot of effects like skin diseases,  pollution of water and air and harms aqatic and wild life, leaching of aluminium from clay many others.
