Acid rain is made of certain types of gases that turn acidic when it comes into contact with air or wind
How does it from?
it starts off from some facilities that normally produce smokes for example buildings like nuclear power plants. Then following up the rain cycle, it vaporizes towards the ground or environment such as forests and natural areas.
Why does acid rain matter?
it matters because of its corrosive and devastating effects on the environment and the living beings that dwell in it. It also affects the ocean as the acidic rain pours down to the sea it could make it a lot less safe for the fishes to live in.
Method
1. Set up the Petri dish
2. Add a few drops of water to these
3. Add 1 spatula of sodium sulfide to weigh boat.
- take starting photo
4. add 5 drops of sulfuric acid and quickly put the lid on
5. observe and check the results.
Observation
-The blue litmus paper turned red which makes it acidic
-The Universal Indicator and bromothymol Blue liquid turned yellow - not sure if we did it right
the right way
- The Universal turned red/yellow/greenish
- Bromothymol Blue liquid started to change color into light yellowish color
- The calcium carbonate to start to be in lumps
- The leaf starts to lose its color from its original state/color.
Well done Daniel! You have written great observations. Next steps would be to explain why.... Why did the changes happen? You identified the litmus suggested acidic conditions, which is also why the bromothymol blue, and Universal Indicator lightened in colour :)
