How do you make artificial acid rain?

How would i make acid rain for a science project?

  • im doing a science experiment with acid rain. me and my group are going to test the afffects acid rain has on gold fish our project is due in two weeks so i really need help PLEASE!!!:)

  • Answer:

    Natural acid rain contains carbonic acid, and might also contain nitric or sulfuric acids. You can simulate it with dilute vinegar, potassium nitrate (saltpeter), and magnesium sulfate (epsom salts). The combination of acid, nitrate, and sulfate make aqua regia, which dissolves gold. This effect is a great annoyance to amateur gold miners because it is extra work to separate the gold from the water.
