Why is rain not naturally acidic?
because the rain will not be drinkable, false
Where does acid in acid rain come from?
Sulphur Dioxide causes rain to become more acidic which makes acid rain.
How sulphur containing compound of coal is responsible for acid rain?
Burning fuel releases gases and particles. When fossil fuels are burnt (coal), Carbon Dioxide & water vapour is released into the atmosphere. Sulphur impurities are also released. This dissolves into water vapour and hence makes the rain more acidic. Rain, however, is naturally acidic as carbon dioxide dissolves into it.
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.
Can you Give me name of two pollutants found in air which make rain-water more acidic?
salt makes it more acidic

What pH is Rain Naturally?
Slightly acidic
What is the difference between normal rain and acid rain since normal rain is acidic anyway?
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
Why do rocks get worn down by the rain?
Rocks can be gradually dissolved by naturally acidic rainwater.
Which gas in unpolluted air makes the rain acidic?
CO2
Is acid rain more gaseous radioactive or more acidic than normal rain?
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
Is there acid in fresh water?
rain water is naturally slightly acidic im not sure about fresh water.
What happens if acidic rain infiltrate into the layers of the soil?
acidic rain if it penetrates into the soil pollutes the underground aquifers.this makes underground water unfit for drinking.

Are acid rain and normal rain both acidic?
Acid rain is more acidic than normal rain. This is immediately obvious from the term.Acid rain is neither gaseous or radioactive. It simply has a lower pH.
