What cause acid precipitation?
Normally, rainwater has a pH of 5.6 because the carbon dioxide in the air combines with water to give a weak solution. Now we have rain with a pH of 5 and 4. The causes of this acid rain is the result of the burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gasoline. When fossil fuels are burned sulfer dioxide are produced and they combine with water vaper in the atmoshpere to form sulfuric and nitric acids. Acid rain affects lakes by making the water acidic, fish get sick and die. It also affects limestone buildings, statues, ect. Many trees in the woods get weak because of the water being more acidic.
How does rain become acid rain?
Rain can become acidic in a few ways: 1. Ground water can be mixed with chemicals that were dumped by a factory, industry, etc. or accidentally spilled. When the ground water evaporates, the chemicals stay with the water, and when it precipitates, it still has the chemicals/acid in it. 2. When condensed water in clouds is mixed with air pollution give off by factories, industries, air planes, etc. chemicals that are given off can mix with it, making the rain acidic. I hope this answered your question! ^.^
How does acid rain effect organisms in aquatic biomes?
Acid rain can lower the pH of the water in aquatic biomes, making it more acidic. This can harm aquatic organisms such as fish, amphibians, and invertebrates by disrupting their physiological functions, damaging their gills, and affecting their reproductive success. It can also degrade habitats and reduce biodiversity in these ecosystems.
Does your body naturally produce water?
No, the human body does not naturally produce water. Water is obtained through drinking fluids and consuming foods that contain water. The body needs water to function properly and maintain hydration.
What is more acidic a pH of 2 or 3?
pH 2. The lower the number is the more acidic it is. pH 7 is neutral, pH 14 is least acidic. 5.4 is considered acid rain.
Is there acid in fresh water?
rain water is naturally slightly acidic im not sure about fresh water.
What pH is Rain Naturally?
Slightly acidic
Why rain is naturally acidic?
The hydrologic cycle involves a process of natural water distillation; essentially, rain water is distilled water, and distilled water is naturally acidic usually with a pH slightly less than 7 since it absorbs carbon dioxide which reacts slowly with water to give the bicarbonate and hydronium ions.
Is the pH of 4.5 of rain water considered acidic?
This is an acidic rain.
Why is rain not naturally acidic?
Rain is naturally slightly acidic, with a pH of around 5.6, due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that forms carbonic acid when it reacts with water vapor. However, this level of acidity is not harmful and is considered normal for rainwater. Factors such as pollution and industrial activities can increase the acidity of rain, leading to acid rain.
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
How has global warming affcted water?
It affects because it causes Acidic rain and acidic rain contaminate the water.
Why is groundwater acidic?
One cause of acidic ground water is polluted rain water, which can be acidic.
How does sulfur dioxide make rain water more acidic?
By burn coal,coal release sulphur to atmosphere
Is rain acidic or alkaline?
Unpolluted rain should be neutral but many pollutants are acidic (oxides, dioxides and trioxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen in particular). These can become dissolved in rainwater it cause it to become acidic.
How can the water cycle make acidic water go everywhere?
The pollutants in air make rain water acidic. Rain water, containing acid reaches everywhere .
Is rainwater acidic neutral or basic in california?
Rain water is generally acidic
