What is acid rain and how does it form
Acid rain forms from the pollution that factories make and then it dissolves into the clouds and when it rains the rain is slightly acidic and then it starts to destroy the environment.
Method:
1. set up the petri dish
2. add 1 spatula of sodium sulfide to weigh boat
3. add 5 drops of sulfuric acid and quickly put the lid on
4. watch and take photos
Observations
The colour changed on everything apart from the calcium carbonate.
The leaf turned to a red-brown colour.
The litmus paper turned to a red colour.
The universal indicator turned pink which means its a acid.
The apple started changing into a really yellow colour.
Awesome work Tyson! I really like how you included photos and diagrams. You gave us a good summary of you observations, and you started to explain what was happening to cause the changes (it was acidic). Next time, it would be great to explain in more detail how/why the changes were happening... what was making it become more acidic?
