The answer is "yes": Rainwater does contain dissolved solids. A few things have to be known to understand how rains form.
1. There are many kinds of substances floating in the air in the form of tiny particles, e.g. dust, pollen grains.
2. The density of water vapor is lower than that of the air, therefore water vapor goes up in the air.
3. The higher the altitude, the colder it becomes.
Water vapor cools down as it ascends in the air. The molecules of the cooled water vapor are attracted to the surface of the floating solid particles. It takes billions of water molecules to form a droplet. The droplets collide with each other and merge into bigger and heavier water drops. It takes about a million droplets to make a raindrop, which finally becomes so heavy that the air cannot hold it up any longer. Then many such drops fall out of the sky, and that's how the rain forms.
The tiny solid particles floating in the air are very important--they are the bases of rain drops. In fact, without solid particles, there will be no rains no matter how much water vapor there is in the air.
Artificial rainmaking is to spray very fine solid particles in the air so that water vapor can have bases to form water drops.
Therefore, rainwater is not pure water, and there are many tiny solid particles within every raindrop. Some solid particles may dissolve in water, some not.
What else can I help you with?
Does rainwater contain minerals?
Yes, rainwater can contain minerals that it picks up as it falls through the atmosphere and interacts with the environment.
Does rainwater contain uric acid?
No
Why rainwater is not acidic?
because it does not contain acid
What does sea water contain that is not found in rainwater?
salt
How much percent solid impurities does rainwater contain?
0.005%
Does naturally acidic rainwater contain carbonic acid?
Yes it can
Does rainwater contain urine?
No, rainwater is formed when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and falls to the ground as precipitation. Urine is excreted by animals, including humans, and is commonly not mixed with rainwater.
What does rainwater have in it?
Apart from the typical chemical constituents of H2O, rainwater will also contain whatever is in the atmosphere where the clouds build up and distribute the rain.
How does the rainwater contain dissolved gases in it?
Rainwater can contain dissolved gases through a process called absorption. As rain falls through the atmosphere, it can absorb gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. Additionally, interactions with organic matter and minerals in the environment can also contribute to the presence of dissolved gases in rainwater.
Is rainwater the same as distilled water?
No, rainwater is not the same as distilled water. Rainwater is collected from the atmosphere and may contain impurities, while distilled water is created through a process of boiling and condensation to remove impurities.
Is it safe to add rainwater to battery?
No, it is not safe to add rainwater to a battery as rainwater may contain impurities or contaminants that can damage the battery. It is recommended to only use distilled water for topping up a battery.
What does the liver contain?
It filters and processes liquids and solids.
