Fong, Man Wai
Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, v5 n1 Article 4 Apr 2004
A demonstration showing acid rain formation is described. Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen that result from the burning of fossil fuels are the major pollutants of acid rain. In this demonstration, SO[subscript 2] gas is produced by the burning of matches. An acid-base indicator will show that the dissolved gas turns an aqueous solution acidic.
