Polution or just a low pH level in the rain. (low pH means stronger acid)
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.
Does acid rain have a low pH?
The base pH of acid rain is low, yes. Usually around 2.5 to 5.5 are the most acidic.
What is an example of acid rain changing the pH soil killing some trees?
Acid rain has a low pH indicating that it is acidic. The pH in the soil can have a detrimental effect on some trees.
Does acid rain increase the pH of streams?
Actually, it decreses the pH, because the pH of acids are towards the low end (0) of the pH scale.
What causes rain water to have a low pH?
Low pH rain water is caused by pollutants in the air that create acids when they come in contact with water. Many of the pollutants are from burning fossil fuels such as coal.
What is the pH range of normal rain and at what level does the pH become dangerous?
the pH of normal rain is said to be between 5.5 an 5. the pH is not 7 because carbonic acid is contained withing rain droplets from the atmosphere. this is how the atmosphere rids itself of toxins. pH of rain can also become very low when large amount of acid are present (from pollutants) the pH at which fish die in ponds when affected by acid rain is 4.9.

What is the average pH level of acid rain?

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.
Precipitation with a low pH that results from sulfur emissions reacting with water is commonly called?
