Please see attachment and explain all work. #1 Emissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that results in "acid rain." The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has a pH of 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic,
