Sudents are shown how to create their own acid rain. They are shown one acid-rain sumulation was to burn a small sample of sulfur in a gas jar which contains a small amount of water. Students cover the jar and shake. They test the water with chemical indicators. They answer the question:Where does the sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere come from? Is the burning of sulfur used commercially to prepare acides from sulfur? Full Review »
