This results from something dissolving in water, leaving an excess of H+ ions. In nature for instance, CO2 dissolves in water as H2O+CO2 giving H2CO3 and this can dissociate into 2H+ and CO32-
One cause of acidic ground water is polluted rain water, which can be acidic.
The side effects of acidic water can be devastating. Acidic water can burn through the surfaces of leaves and fish for example.
Tap water is only slightly acidic
Sb2S3 is an acidic compound. When it dissolves in water, it forms antimony ions that can react with water to produce acidic solutions.
To make water more acidic, you can add an acidic substance such as vinegar or lemon juice. These substances release hydrogen ions into the water, lowering its pH level and making it more acidic.
Yes, tonic water has a pH around 4, so it is acidic.
Water is neutral, with a pH of 7. It is neither acidic nor basic.
SeO3 would be acidic, tending to make selenic acid H2SeO4
Soda water is slightly acidic due to the carbon dioxide forming carbonic acid when dissolved in water. The pH of soda water typically ranges from 3 to 4.
Water itself is neutral, neither acidic or basic. If an acid is present in the water, such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, etc., then the water will become acidic.
