dissolved CO2
dissolved SO2
dissolved NO2
none of the above.
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. dissolved SO2.
Rain during November is more acidic than monsoon rain due to the presence of dissolved sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere. SO2 is a gas that is released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. When SO2 dissolves in water, it forms sulfuric acid, which is a strong acid. The presence of sulfuric acid in the rain can cause a number of problems, including damage to plants and animals, and corrosion of metals.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A: Dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) is a weak acid. It does not cause the rain to be as acidic as dissolved sulfur dioxide.
- Option C: Dissolved nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a gas that is released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. It can react with water to form nitric acid, which is a strong acid. However, the amount of NO2 in the atmosphere is much lower than the amount of SO2, so it does not have as much of an effect on the acidity of the rain.
- Option D: None of the above is the correct answer.
