Neutral pH is 7. pH is minus the log of the hydrogen ion concentration. And hydrogen ions are delivered by acids (definition of an acid) and suppress the concentration of OH ions. So acid rain has a pH of less than ("normal") 7.

How can you tell normal rain from acid rain?
All acid rain aspects are from water pollution and normal pollution. Please add something if necessary.+++Not so much add as modify! :-) Acid rain results when the water absorbs certain gases in the atmosphere to become acidic. This happens naturally anyway, by dissolving Carbon Dioxide to form the very weak Carbonic Acid; but the main acid-rain producing pollutant is Sulphur Dioxide from imperfect combustion of oil or coal containing sulphur.
Acid rain is cool How cool do you think it is?
Alot cooler than you.:P
Why lower acid value is better than higher acid value?
nano technology in chemistry?
Will the pH of a buffer solution be higher or lower than the pH of a weak acid?
The pH of buffer solution will be higher (Less acidic) than the corresponding acid because the common ion effect in buffer mixture suppressed the ionization of acid.
Why lakes with limestone beds experience less adverse affects from acid rain than lakes with granite beds?
Limestone and marble (calcium carbonate) dissolve when in cntact with acid rain. Other building matrails like granite are not impacted by acid
Is acid rain rain with acid?
Yes, Acid rain is rain with higher than normal levels of nitric and sulfuric acid.
What is rain that has more acid than normal in it called?
It is called acid rain.
Are acid rain and normal rain both 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.
Is acid rain far more acidic than normal rain?
yes it is
Is acid rain more gaseous radioactive or more acidic than normal rain?
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
Why does acid precipitation weather rock faster than normal precipitation does?
Acid precipitation weather rocks faster than normal precipitation because acid precipitation has a higher concentration of acid than normal precipitation.
Rain that contains more acid than normal is known as what?
Acid Rain , i know thats true because i read it out my science book.
Does acid rain fall every time it rains?
No. While all rain is slightly acidic,it is only considered acid rain if it is far more acidic than normal.
Why is the pH of rainwater less than 7?
pollution causes a higher alkaline level in rain! google acid rain :)
Rain and other forms of precipitation that are more acidic than normal are called?
rain in locations where factories release a lot of acid residue in the smoke of their chimeny.
Why does acid precipitation weather rocks at faster rate than normal precipitation dose?
Acid precipitation weather rocks faster than normal precipitation because acid precipitation has a higher concentration of acid than normal precipitation. Because if the acidity is too high, acid precipitation can be harmful to animals and plants. When animals are harmed, they will start moving around a lot more than normal, causing rocks to weather even faster.
What can yo do about acid rain?
Acid rain is caused by pollution and has a pH level lower than normal rain. Acid rain effects soil and can kill trees, pollute our waters, kill life in water, etc. It is essential that we stop acid rain, and the way to do that is to stop polluting. The only thing that causes acid rain is humans, we can also stop it.
