acid rain formula

what is the chemical equation for acid rain?? I think we went over this in class but I missed it in my notes.

Depends on the pollutant in question. Sulfur dioxide is a common example:

Based on what I have in my notes, the equation is
SO2(g) + H20(l) ---> H2SO3(aq). There should be an arrow going in the opposite direction (Sulphurous acid is a weak acid so the reaction can go the other way), but I don't know how to type that out.

It is really important to note that the "acid rain" is just an example of a Acid molecule that can donate more then one H+

will I get partial points for getting the reactants right but not the product?
