normal rain in England is acid rain so if you drink it, it wouldn't kill you you may be ill for a few days but it depends on were about you live near a factory in the country side near a busy road all fumes go up into the atmosphere to create acid rain! MKK448 edited this

∙ 14y agoNot much will happen, actually. "Acid Rain" isn't actually a real acid, like sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, that can burn through your skin. Acid rain is called 'acid' because it measures pretty far into the acid portion of the pH scale. Acid rain has the pH of Tomato Juice (about 4), and wouldn't do anything to your skin at all.

∙ 12y agoAnything with a noteworthy acidity to it will vary from sour to outright caustic in the mouth, throat and stomach, but "acidic water" is not someting normally run across on earth. Very alkaline water is sometimes seen in places in the American west. There is no liquid a human being could drink with a pH as low as 2.5-3.0 without serous consequences or even death.
Previous answer:
Most soft drinks e.g. coke have pH of 2.5

What happens in when SO2 reacts with rain water?
When SO2 [Sulphur Dioxide] reacts with water Sulphuric Acid [H2SO4] is created, which is commonly refered to as "acid rain."
Conclusion of acid rain?
Acid rain is acid rain.
What happens when chemicals in air pollution combine with precipitation?
You get what's commonly called 'acid rain'

Vegetation is affected by acid rain by coming in contact with the acid rain can kill the plants. Hope this helps. :)
How does acid rain happen?
Acid Rain happens whenever the air has been recently polluted

Absolutely nothing
What happens to metal when there is acid rain?
people die duhhh
When rain and CO2 combines what happens?
Carbonic acid is formed.
Where does acid rain happens?
Acid rain is a result of having sulfur dioxide in the air. It happens everywhere but mainly near factories where they pump out a lot of waste gas including sulfur dioxide.
What happens with the pH level in Acid Rain?
it becomes more acidic
What happens when the chemicals in air pollution combine with precipatations?
Acid rain.
What happens when acid rain attacks rocks?
It will corroed the rock away
What happens when sulfur burns?
It mixes with clouds and creates acid rain.
What problems happens when heating copper sulfide in air?
You get acid rain
How do the chemicals get in acid rain?
Through fossils fuels being burnt which release sulphar dioxide and/or nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere which then condenses in clouds to form acid rain. Less harmful and acidic acid rain is from carbon dioxide. This acid rain is present everywhere and happens naturally.
What happens in when SO2 reacts with rain water?
When SO2 [Sulphur Dioxide] reacts with water Sulphuric Acid [H2SO4] is created, which is commonly refered to as "acid rain."
