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 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.
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.
What is the difference between normal rain and acid rain since normal rain is acidic anyway?
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
What pH is acidrain?
Acid Rain generally has a pH of less than 5, where normal rain is about 5.6. The lower the pH value, the more acidic is the rain.
A short definition of acid rain?
The acid rain is rain that has made acidic by certain pollutants in the air. Acid rain is a type of acid deposition, which can appear in many forms. Wet deposition is rain, sleet, snow, or fog that has become more acidic than normal. Dry deposition is another form of acid deposition, and this is when gases and dust particles become acidic. Both wet and dry deposition can be carried by the wind, sometimes for very long distances. Acid deposition in wet and dry forms falls on buildings, cars, and trees and can make lakes acidic. Acid deposition in dry form can be inhaled by people and can cause health problems in some people. The normal rain is a bit acidic, but some contaminates have made it more acidic, sometimes as acid as the vinegar.
Where does acid in acid rain come from?
Sulphur Dioxide causes rain to become more acidic which makes acid rain.
Is acid rain radioactive acidic or gaseous?
Acid rain is acidic.
How is normal rain changed to acid rain?
When there are too much toxins in the air, rain becomes somewhat acidic.
What is the pH scale of normal acid rain?
Normal clean rain has a pH value of between 5 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic
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.
What can make rain more acidic?
Rain can be made more acidic by reactions with nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which react with water to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
