Acid rain formation

Spanish Version

Acid rain is one of the most damaging consequences of the pollution that exists today. In this video we'll explain how it is formed:

Materials

  • Sulfur
  • PH indicator
  • Flask
  • Lighter

Alvaro inflames a bit of sulfur, and fills the flask with water colored with methyl orange (pH indicator). This happens in reality: the sulfur gases fall on the surface, contaminating it. Then we see that the liquid becomes red, indicating that now it is an acidic substance.
