Abstract
A demonstration showing acid rain and lake acidification is described. In this demonstration, SO2 gas is generated in a large graduated cylinder and then dissolved in water droplets from a simple spray bottle. The droplets carry the acid into simulated lakes, one of which includes solid CaCO3 to mimic limestone's natural buffering capacity.

Brett Criswell , Holly M. Bevsek , Carole BennettJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (8), 1167High-school chemistry curricula have often been maligned for being too long on theoryand too short on applied chemistry. Certainly, very little consideration is given in most curricula to the rich arena of descriptive chemistry, particularly helping ...
