Question

sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are both primary pollutants. what do they react with to form an acid? soil water

Explanation:

Sulfur dioxide (\(SO_2\)) and nitrogen dioxide (\(NO_2\)) are primary pollutants. When they react with water (\(H_2O\)) in the atmosphere, they form acids. For example, \(SO_2\) can react with water to form sulfurous acid (\(H_2SO_3\)) and further oxidize to sulfuric acid (\(H_2SO_4\)), and \(NO_2\) can react with water to form nitric acid (\(HNO_3\)). Soil does not directly react with these pollutants to form acids in the context of acid - rain formation.

Answer:

Water
