1. Formation of
acid rain

2. Acid rain
It is a rain or any other form
of precipitation that is unusually acidic,
meaning that it possesses elevated levels of
hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful
effects on plants, aquatic animals and
infrastructure.

acid rain is caused by
emissions
Sulfur dioxide
Nitrogen oxide
Which can be the cause
of
volcanic eruption
lightning

4. pH level of acid rain
This shows the pH level
of the acid rain

5. Chemical structure of acid
rain

carbon dioxide and water in the air react
together to form carbonic acid, a weak acid
according to the following reaction:
H2O(l) + CO2 (g) H2CO3 (aq)
Carbonic acid then can ionize in water
forming low concentrations
of hydronium and carbonate ions:
H2O(l) + H2CO3 (aq) HCO3− (aq) + H3O+ (aq)

6. Results of acid rain
Acid rain can destroy the leaves in a forest

7. Acid rain can also destroy
buildings and other
materials.

8. How does acid rain affects
aquatic organisms
Acid rain can also harm the
habitats of aquatic organisms
