What exactly do we need to know about acid rain for the final?
Is it just these two reactions:
SO2 + H2O --> H2SO3
CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3
Is there anything else we should know about the specifics of acid rain?

Re: What do we need to know about acid rain
The only other thing from my notes is:
Understanding how the pH scale is used to measure acidity. Rain is naturally slightly acidic (pH of around 5.6) due to CO₂ in the atmosphere, but acid rain typically has a pH lower than this.

I think generally just understanding the main concepts of acid rain and how the acidity comes about
