Key Stage 3
Meaning
Acid rain is rain with a pH less than 7.
About Acid Rain
- Acid rain is formed when certain gases dissolve in the rain to make it acidic:
- Sulphur Dioxide dissolves to form Sulphuric Acid
- Nitrous Oxides dissolve to form Nitric Acid
- Acid rain corrodes buildings and statues made of limestone due to a neutralisation reaction.
- Acid rain can damage plant growth because it makes the soil more acidic.
