The pair of gases responsible for acid rain are

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{O}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_4, \mathrm{O}_3\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{NO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CO}, \mathrm{CH}_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{NO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are responsible for acid rain. Due to the presence of \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\) and \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) (strong acids) rain water becomes acidic and rain is called the acid rain.
