Acid rain is the mixture of wet and dry removed things from the atmosphere containing high amounts of nitric abd sulfric acids. Nitric ans sulfuric acids make acid rain acidic. When the nitric and sulfuric acids are released by big factories.The two acids mix with water, oxygen, and other chemicals form various acidic mixtures. These chemicals come from big factories that release big amounts of chemicals. We measure the acidity of rain by using a scale of "pH." The lower the mass' pH is, the more acidic the acid rain is. PH is the scale of measuring the acidity of acid rain. The pH range is from 0-14. the pH of 7 is nuetral like milk and water. If it's greater than 7, it's then basic which is like ammonia. Less than 7 is like apples, lemonade, and vinegar. When chemicals are mixed with water, it could go both ways, either acidic or basic. The pH of normal rain is 7. When acid rain is very dangerous, the level is about 0 or 14. These chemicals can cause severe burns.
