Best Answer

A rainbow is formed when sunlight passes through a water droplet and refracts into the entire colour spectrum. You can see a rainbow when it is cloudy because there are far more water droplets in the sky, and therefore more chances that you will see a rainbow. Rainbows, however , are far more common during a sun shower, as there is more unreflected light in the sky

How do you test a gas to see if it was carbon dioxide?

Bubbling the gas into limewater is the classic test for CO2. Limewater is a saturated solution of Ca(OH)2. When CO2 is dissolved it reacts to produce insoluble CaCO3 and the solution turns cloudy. Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(aq) --> CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) :)
