Skip to content Printer-friendly Printer-friendly Subject Index Search: Home » Acid Rain Skip to main navigation Acid Rain Acid rain is a by-product of our industrialized society. Air pollution combines with water in the atmosphere and falls to the earth as acidic rain or snow. Discussions and reports about acid rain often use the terms acid deposition or atmospheric deposition to describe this return of airborne pollutants to earth. Pollutants can be deposited from the atmosphere in rain or snow ( wet deposition ) or without precipitation ( dry deposition While many areas of New York State are not sensitive to acidity because of limestone deposits or soils which neutralize the acid, the Adirondacks, Catskills, Hudson Highlands, Rensselaer Plateau and parts of Long Island are particularly sensitive to acid deposition. The soil and bedrock in these areas are not able to counteract the acid in the rain and snow.

Acid Rain lesson 1: Make Acid Rain lesson 4: Acid Rain Producers Conferencing lesson 2: Weather Patterns ... Chat Activity 1 Can I make acid rain? Introduction Invitation Exploration Explanation ... Conclusion Introduction: Normal unpolluted rain water has a pH of 5.6 to 5.7 due to natural emissions (volcano, forest fires caused by lightning, and decaying organic matter) and the carbon dioxide (CO ) normally present in the air. The acid in acid precipitation is due to sulfuric acid and nitric acid formed when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water vapor in the atmosphere. These oxides are common gaseous by-products of man. Objective: You will demonstrate how gases that are dissolved in water will turn the water into an acid. Materials: medicine dropper distilled water glass jar with with lid bromothymol blue solution graduated cylinder test tube or other small container matches with high sulfur content Top Invitation: Answer the following quiz question, and view the results of other students.
