Acid rain experiment

 What is Acid rain?

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

The aim of this experiment is to observe the effects of Acid rain.

 We are going to be using Petal, Calcium carbonate, Apple , Universal indicator and bromothymol blue.

In our petri dish we will place the items around the edge, and we will wet the dry ingredients with drops of water. And then we will put a weigh boat in the middle. 

Add a spatula of sodium sulfate to the weigh boat. Also add 5 drops of sulfuric acid then quickly close the lid.

What happened?

What I seen happen was that the Universal indicator changed colour and went from green to pink and the Bromothymol blue changed colour and went from blue to yellow.
