would the injection of sulfate aerosols into the atmosphere cause acid rain?

Question

My understanding is that SO2 causes acid rain by its reaction with water to form sulfuric acid. Could sulfate ions alone cause acid rain?

Sulfates dissolve into atmospheric water to produce sulfuric acid

Answer 2
