Question

When sulfur-, nitrogen-, and carbon-based compounds from vehicles and factories react with moisture in the air, they form what kind of precipitation?
A. Photochemical 
B. CFCs 
C. Basic 
D. Acidic

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct answer is D. Acidic.

When sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) from vehicles and factories react with moisture in the air, they can form sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and nitric acid (HNO₃), leading to acidic precipitation, commonly referred to as acid rain.
