1        Rainwater with the pH value below 5.6 is regarded as (1) acid rain. It is mainly caused the
(2) pollutant gases like (3) Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides,
which are released from traditional (4) power station and factories.
2        When (5) fuels are burnt in factories, and (6) petroleum are
burnt in engines of motor vehicles, pollutant gases are released. The gases (7) dissolve in
tiny water droplets in the air to form acidic clouds in the atmosphere.
3        Acids have (8) corrosive effects on some metals and building materials. They may
also damage leaves and make plants unable to carry out (9) photosynthesis.
4        Many fish and plants die if the pH value of water drops below (10) 5.
5        To reduce the emission of acidic pollutant gases, we should use alternative energy sources like
(11) solar / nuclear power and wind power.
7.        For driving, we should use high-grade fuels with a low (12) sulphur contents.
We can also reduce pollutants from the exhaust gas of motor vehicles by using
(13) catalytic converter.

Challenging Questions (Bonus 2 marks)
1.      Suggest how you can determine whether the rainwater is acid rain or not.
We can use pH meter to test for the rainwater. If the pH value is lower than 5.6, the rainwater is acid rain.

2.      What happens if the acidic rainwater drops on the marble floor?

The marble floor will be corroded.
