Question

Rain with a pH below 5.6 is considered acid rain. The principal cause of acid rain is coal-burning electrical power plants (sulfurous and sulfuric acids are formed in the atmosphere from this). Any combustion reaction that produces high temperature can also produce acid rain (nitrous and nitric acid are produced in the atmosphere from this). Thus, automotive engines are also an important contributor to acid rain.
