* Acids Lesson 6 Acid Rain Hydrolysis Acid Rain ? The cause of Acid Rain is the release of acid anhydrides into the environment. Acid Anhydrides are nonmetal oxides.? ? NO2 N2O4 automobile pollution ? SO2 SO3 coal smelter pollution ? ? SO3 + H2O → H2SO4(aq) Rain ? ? Acid Rain has pH 5 Normal Rain has pH = 6 due to dissolved CO2 ? CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 ? Acid rain dissolves metal, limestone, concrete structures. ? Acid rain decreases the pH of lakes and causes toxic metals to leach into them. Hydrolysis of Salts ? Salts can be acidic, basic, or neutral. ? 1. Neutral Salts
