Answer to Problem 34R

Option (B)

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The oxides of the Carbon, Sulphur and Nitrogen form acids in the presence of the atmospheric moisture. When the acidic moisture falls in the form of precipitation, it is called acidic precipitation.

The ozone, lead and oxygen do not form acid precipitation by combine with moisture in the air, so the option (A), option (C) and option (D) are incorrect.

The Sulphur dioxide produces the sulphuric acid by combining with the moisture in the air. This leads to formation of the acid precipitation, so the option (B) is correct.

Conclusion:

Thus, the option correct option is B.
