Is rainwater acid or alkali or neutral?
It all depends on what is in it. You have heard about acid rain but normal rain has a pH of around 5. It would be slightly acidic according to your question.
Carbon dioxide forms a weak acid called carbonic acid when dissolved in water How can this be a significant factor in the formation of acid rain?
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is dissolved in water, making natural rainwater slightly acidic, so when other gases such as sulphur dioxide are dissolved in rainwater, it becomes more acidic than it would be if it didn't contain carbonic acid.
What causes a acidic pH?
If the compound is acidic in nature then it has an acidic pH. It would have a pH from 0-7.
A water solution is found to have a molar OHnegative concentration of 3point2 times 10negative5 The solution would be classified as A acidic B basic C neutral D cant be classified?
The water solution having [OH-] = 3.2 X 10-5 has a pOH of 4.495, that is, a pH of 9.505. So, it is a basic solution.
How many times more acidic would precipitation at 3.6 pH be than normal precipitation?
It would be 20 times as acidic...
Which outcome would you expect if you measured the pH of area of high air pollution?
The rainwater would be acidic with a pH less than 5.6.

What do acid tablets dissolve fastest in milk or lemon juice?
IT would react faster in lemon juice because it is acidic and milk has no chemicals in it that make it acidic, and is classified as basic...
What type of bedrock would you expect to find in a region with caves and sinkholes?
Limestone or dolostone, most likely, because of its chemical reactivity and dissolution by naturally acidic rainwater and groundwater.
What would happen if water in air combines with some gases and becomes acidic?
the gases released by some industries and motor vehicles cintain chemicals that make rainwater acidic . so. it can kill plants and animals in water it can also damage building and statues
How do you prepare rainwater to distilled water?
If you want to make distilled water from rainwater, you would perform distillation on the rainwater.
What is an antonym for corrupted?
The opposite would be uncorrupted, unpolluted, unblemished, clean, or sinless.
Why are some silicate minerals more easily weathered than others?
Because of their chemical composition, feldspars are more easily attacked by mildly acidic rainwater than say a quartz would be.
Which specific type of rock would weather the fastest?
Sedimentary rocks would weather the fastest, especially ones like limestone, because it's made mostly from calcium carbonate, which is easily dissolved by the slightly acidic rainwater.
In which group does a fish fit in acids or bases?
That would depend entirely on the type of fish, however species of animals are usually not classified as being alkaline OR acidic.
Is heather a weed?
