What will be the color change if rainwater is dipped into a blue litmus paper?
as rain water is slightly acidic so will turn the blue litmus paper a little red.
Is rainwater acid or alkali or neutral?
It all depends on what is in it. You have heard about acid rain but normal rain has a pH of around 5. It would be slightly acidic according to your question.
Carbon dioxide forms a weak acid called carbonic acid when dissolved in water How can this be a significant factor in the formation of acid rain?
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is dissolved in water, making natural rainwater slightly acidic, so when other gases such as sulphur dioxide are dissolved in rainwater, it becomes more acidic than it would be if it didn't contain carbonic acid.
Is seawater acidic or alkaline?
It is very slightly acidic.
What color does litmus paper turn when dipped in urine?
It turns red because rainwater is slightly acidic and litmus turns red in the presence of acids
Suggest why normal rain water is slightly acidic?
Normal rainwater has a pH of 5.6 (slightly acidic). This is because it is exposed to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide gets dissolved in the rainwater and forms carbonic acid (H{-2}CO{-3}).
Is normal rainwater an acid or a base?
Normal rain water is slightly acidic because contain carbon dioxide.
Is rainwater natrually acidic?
Yes, rainwater is naturally slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide mixes with rainwater to form carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of the rainwater. However, human activities, such as emissions from burning fossil fuels, can increase the acidity of rainwater to harmful levels, leading to acid rain.
Why rainwater has a naturally acidic on limestone buildings?
As rainwater falls to earth, it absorbs pollution (natural and industrial) in the atmosphere which turns the rainwater slightly acidic. Limestone is affected by the acidity, and weathering and erosion is the result. The more pollution, the stronger the acidity, and the more damage is done to buildings and statues made from limestone.
Normal rainwater is slightly acidic because water vapor combines with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to form?
Carbonic acid yo
Calcium carbonate is insoluble in pure water why does it dissolve in rain water?
Because rainwater, with the different chemicals and elements in it, is very slightly acidic.
Why does rainwater weather away limestone buildings?
Because rainwater is mildly acidic. Acid in the rainwater dissolves the limestone.
What will be the color change if rainwater is dipped into a blue litmus paper?
as rain water is slightly acidic so will turn the blue litmus paper a little red.
Why rainwater is not acidic?
because it does not contain acid
Is rainwater acidic neutral or basic in california?
Rain water is generally acidic
Do all rocks react with rainwater at the same rate?
No. Rainwater is usually slightly acidic because of the carbon dioxide dissolved in it. Sometimes, it can be strongly acidic, if pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are dissolved in it. Both weakly and strongly acidic rainwater react with some rocks, but only ones that are alkaline. Chalk is almost pure calcium carbonate and reacts fairly quickly with rainwater. Other rocks that contain calcium carbonate include limestone and marble and these react a little more slowly. But some rocks, like sandstone, are actually acidic and don't react with rainwater (though they are still physically weathered by rain). Granite also doesn't react with rainwater and it physically weathers much more slowly.
Is rainwater acid or alkali or neutral?
It all depends on what is in it. You have heard about acid rain but normal rain has a pH of around 5. It would be slightly acidic according to your question.
