Learning Targets“I Can..”
• Describe the contents of smog and how smog contributes to the formation of acid rain.
• Study the effect of dissolved CO2 on the pH of distilled water
• Study the effect of dissolving H2SO4 in various waters on pH
• Describe why some bodies of water are more vulnerable to acid rain than others

Acid Rain

Background
• As carbon dioxide gas dissolves in water droplets of unpolluted air, the following reaction occurs:
CO2 + H2O H2CO3
• H2CO3 is a weak acid that causes the rain from unpolluted air to be slightly acidic; this is a natural “acid rain” and is not considered to be a pollutant
• Demonstration

Background
• When fossil fuels are burnt, they release sulfur dioxide which creates the following chemical reaction:
SO2 + H2O H2SO3
