How do you make artificial acid rain?

How do you make acid rain for a science experiment?

  • Answer:

    First if you get vinegar and put it in a bottle for 3 days it will turn into carbon dioxide.(d2) After the three days are over,pour water in it let it stay and dissolve in with the carbon d2. Then you get acid rain. If you cannot do that just get algea(or moss) and fertilizer and mix it with WARM water. Let it sit for a couple of hours. How much vinegar/water combination do you use? Is the bottle supposed to be sealed or not. NOT SO Acid rian is due prmarily to the interaction of SO2 and NO2 with moisture in the air, acetic acid has nothing to do with it,further more vinegar does not turn into CO2. the gas phase sulfur dioxide is oxidized by reaction with the hydroxyl radical via an intermolecular reaction [4]: SO2 + OH· → HOSO2· which is followed by: HOSO2· + O2 → HO2· + SO3 In the presence of water, sulfur trioxide (SO3) is converted rapidly to sulfuric acid: SO3 (g) + H2O (l) → H2SO4 (l) Nitrogen dioxide reacts with OH to form nitric acid: NO2 + OH· → HNO3
