This will depend entirely on the area in question and atmospheric composition but usually the pH is just under neutral (7) due to dissolved Carbon Dioxide in the rain making it slightly acidic.

What does it mean if rain water has a pH of 6.1?
A pH of 6.1 means it is on the acidic side, and to be precise it has a hydronium ion concentration of 7.9x10^-7 M
Is the pH of 4.5 of rain water considered acidic?
This is an acidic rain.
What is the pH of unpolluted rain water?
5.6
Is rainwater always neutral in the pH scale?
The pH of rain water is not neutral.
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.
What is pH of rain water?
the normal pH of rain water is about 5.6
What is the pH of normal rain compared to the pH of acid rain?
normal rain- 5.6 acid rain- 3 to 4
What pH does normal rain have?
It has the pH of 5.6
What is the pH of acid rain and normal rain?
Clean rain has a ph of 5.6, while the ph of acid rain is 4.2-4.4.
What does it mean if rain water has a pH of 6.1?
A pH of 6.1 means it is on the acidic side, and to be precise it has a hydronium ion concentration of 7.9x10^-7 M
What is the highest pH ever recorded from acid rain and where?
The highest ever recording was 4.9 i think in EuropeAnswer:Normal rain has a pH of 5.5 to 4.5. Acid rain has pH of anything less than 4.5 and reaches its strongest (lowest pH) value at about a pH of 2.The highest pH for acid rain (the weakest acid rain) would be at the lower value of normal rain water.
The pH of normal rain is what?
6.5
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
Why does rainwater have a much lower pH than pure water?
The reaction of carbon dioxide with water droplets in the atmosphere makes rain naturally mildly acidic. As a result, "normal rain" has a pH of about 5.6 rather than a neutral pH of 7.
What is the pH of rain?
A "normal" rain is considered to have a pH of 5,7. But the pH of acid rains can be as low as 2. The pH of rain is very variable on the Earth and during the year.
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.
What is the pH level of water from cement industry?
The pH level of waste water from the cement industry varies greatly. Most large cement producers have waste treatment facilities that bring the pH levels down to normal rain water levels.
