or when sulfuric dioxide and nitrogen oxide get into the atmosphere.
5. What two air pollutants are associated with the formation of acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
Data Analysis:
7. According to your pH test result, where in the U.S. is acid rain most severe?
The Northeastern United States.
8. Sulfur dioxide is the main air pollutant associated with acid rain.
Yes
9. Which state in the U.S. release the most sulfur dioxide annually?
Ohio
Conclusion:
10. Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between a state's sulfur dioxide emissions and the
average pH of its rain water?
Yes . As emissions rise pH increases.
11. How might you explain the fact that Vermont and New Hampshire, states with very low sulfur dioxide
emission, experience acid levels that are among the most severe in the country?
The polluted air moves towards them because of wind
