Science: Acid Rain

In science, we are doing an experiment on acid rain. Acid rain makes chemical weathering happen more quickly. buildings and statues that are made from rock can be damaged as a result. Acid rain forms when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are burned, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide escape into the air.

Why do we care about it?

Because it can damage the environment, and kill the livings things that live there. Plants, animals, water life, etc. It can also break down limestone, stones, and statues. It makes the water more acidic and kills off the water life that lives there.

What we used:
Petri dish
Weigh boat
Blue litmus paper
Bromothymol blue
Universal indicator
Leaf
Apple piece
Calcium carbonate

Method:

1. set up Petri dish

*Add a few drops of water to these.

2. add 1 spatula of sodium sulfate to weigh 

- take starting photo.

3. Add 5 drops of sulfuric acid and quickly put lid on.

4. Watch and take photos
