Re: acid rain
You should know the equation and the idea behind acid rain.
Carbon dioxide reacts with water in The atmosphere to form carbonic acid, which is released in acid rain
H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3
it may also be helpful to know that H2CO3 can dissociate and give off one of the protons
H2CO3 --> HCO3- + H+

Re: acid rain
For acid rain, you should know that it is formed in the atmosphere when carbon dioxide reacts with water, which produces carbonic acid and becomes acid rain.
H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3
H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3
