Suggest why normal rain water is slightly acidic?
Zainababdulrahman
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}).

If pH level of water is 6.0 is it acidic?
The pH scale ranges from 0.0 - 14.0. A pH of 7.0 is considered neutral, anything below is acidic, and anything above has increasing alkalinity. A pH of 6.0 would therefore suggest that the liquid is slightly acidic.

Is tap water acidic or neutral?
Tap water is ever so slightly basic. Hello, I have had two chemistry classes and in each class we tested the pH of tap water and it is slightly acidic, which my prof. said was true. I tested my tap water with pH paper, it was approximately 6.75 which is slightly acidic. Remember that tap water is not natural, it is a product of a water treatment plant.
