All rain is at least slightly acidic due to the water combining with carbon dioxide in the atmopshere to form carbonic acid. Rain is considered acid rain when it is more acidic than should normally occur in nature.
Because the rainwater from the atmosphere is not polluted enough by the toxins from factories and nuclear weapons as well as power plants
Also, acid rain is rain that has absorbed pollutants like sulfur dioxide and has a pH lower than 5, if you wanted the chemistry of it.
All rain on Earth is at least slightly acidic (pH less than 7). It is considered abnormally acidic if the pH is less than 5.7. The lower the pH the greater the acidity and consequently the potential for harm increases. The presence of certain types of sulfur and nitrogen in the atmosphere mixing with rain at great enough concentrations will cause this condition.
Rain is normally slightly acidic because as clouds form and rain falls, the water reacts with with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to form very weak carbonic acid that's why.
Acid rain is more acidic than normal rain. This is immediately obvious from the term.Acid rain is neither gaseous or radioactive. It simply has a lower pH.
fertilisers and acid rain
Acidic oxides causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are gases for examples.
Smoke from factories and vehicle pollution is the main cause of acid rain. The pollutants merges with rain and the rain becomes acidic.
Sulfuric acid
Acid rain is acidic.
Acid rain is more acidic than normal rain. This is immediately obvious from the term.Acid rain is neither gaseous or radioactive. It simply has a lower pH.
Acid rain is made excessively acidic by a combination of sulphuric and nitric acid.
Sulphur Dioxide causes rain to become more acidic which makes acid rain.
Acid is in rain everywhere in the world
SO2 is an acid forming oxide, so with water it is acidic (acid rain!)
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
No. While all rain is slightly acidic,it is only considered acid rain if it is far more acidic than normal.
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
Acidic gases causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are examples for that.
Acid rain is precipitation that's made acidic by pollution and causes harm to the environment.
acid rain is made acidic by pollution in the air. acid rain erodes stone buildings , statues and kills plants and fish .
