Deep ground water is slightly basic due to high amouts of total dissovoved solids of more OH ions.

How does acid precipitation pollute the environment?
The several ways are: * It changes the pH of water affecting fish life. At the same time it releases heavy metals into the water that are toxic to fish and other animals. * It erodes and corrodes rock and metal * It impacts plant life by affecting the groundwater pH * It changes the ionic structure of clayey soils
What is mineral precipitation?
Dissolved minerals that precipitate out due to pH changes, temperature, pressure or simply evaporation
What is the pH level of water?
The pH level of water is 7, because it is neutral.
Why does the pH of an acetate buffer increases after dilution with water?
The pH of water is approximatly 7 (a neutral pH), and the acetate buffer has an acidic pH (less than 7) so when you add distilled water to the buffer the pH will increase.
Will a soil pH meter test water pH levels?
It depends on the litmus paper. If the paper is completely soiled, then the pH level of the water would be hard to determine. If part of the litmus paper is not soiled, then you can use it to determine the pH level of water. (tap water has a pH 6 because of the substances used to clean water) ~your mom's chest hair~
What changes water's pH level in reference to precipitation?
Oxides of sulphur and nitrogen in the atmosphere dissolve in the precipitation making it more acid.
Is the PH level of faucet water higher or lower than the PH level of precipitation rain?
It depends on where you are. If your water comes from aquifers that are in limestone rock and you are near an industrial are it is likely the faucet water will be slightly higher pH than the rain water.
Precipitation with a low pH that results from sulfur emissions reacting with water is commonly called?
acid rain
What is the pH difference between acid rain and pure water?
Pure water has a pH of 7.0, while acid rain has a pH or 5.0 or less. The difference in pH would be 2.0 or greater, depending on how acidic the acid rain is.
What is the ph of acid precipitation?
The Ph. level of an item tells how acidic or basic it is. Pure water is neutral at a seven while acid precipitation, or acid rain, has a level lower the seven. The most acid reported has been 4.3.
What is the difference between the pH value of distilled water and the theoretical pH expected?
Distilled water's pH is expected to be exactly 7; however small amounts of CO2 entering the water then form H2CO3. This can lower the pH to around 5.0 - 6.0.
What has a pH below 5.6?
acid rain/precipitation
Does acid precipitation have a pH value above 5.6?
No, it doesn't, it has a pH value below 5.6
How does acid precipition form?
acid precipitation can form by air pollution, burning of fossil fuels, and Natural Resources.acid precipitation is formed from the ph level in waters. if the ph level is high and gets evaporated it will rain down as "acid rain"
What is acid groundwater?
Pure water is said to be neutral, with a pH close to 7.0 at 25 °C (77 °F). Solutions with a pH less than 7 are said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. Acid ground water is water in the rocks that has a pH of 2 to 6.
Why pH of fresh ground water slightly decrease upon exposure to air?
It is due to absorption of CO2.
Is there a pH difference between tap water and pond water and rainwater If so what would account for it?
I'm almost certain there is a difference. If you want to find out the PH of each of them use universal indicator paper. then you will know whether each of them are an acid or a base.
