The pair of gases responsible for acid rain are
- A \(\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{O}_3\)
- B \(\mathrm{CH}_4, \mathrm{O}_3\)
- C \(\mathrm{NO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{CO}, \mathrm{CH}_4\)
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.
