Acid rain is produced from the reaction of sulfur dioxide, produced from the burning of fossil fuels (such as coal) and rainwater to form sulfurous acid. Sulfurous acid is subsequently converted to sulfuric acid upon reaction with oxygen in the air.
Acid rain is what causes 'white spots' on limestone buildings, as the 'acid' rain is reacting with the calcium carbonate in the limestone.
This reaction produces a gas which you can test for.
How would you test for this gas?
Turns limewater milky
Re-ignites a glowing splint
Gives a squeaky pop when a lit splint is added to a sample of the gas
