Ordinary rain is very slightly acidic because of dissolved gases in the air, mostly carbon dioxide (carbonic acid). However, rain that falls through industrial smoke or smog can become harmfully acidic (acid rain) by dissolving nitrides and sulfur.
An ACIDIC Sol'n has a pH < 7. pH = 1 is strongly acidic (H2SO4/HCl/HNO3) pH = 4 mildly acidic (CH3COOH) pH = 6 weakly acidic. (H2CO3 as naturak rain water; NOT acidic rain).
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.
Yes, rainwater is slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that forms carbonic acid when it combines with water. The pH of rainwater is typically around 5.6, making it slightly acidic.
When carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides react with rainwater, they form acidic rain. This acidic rain can have harmful effects on ecosystems, including damaging vegetation and aquatic life.
Acid rain is more acidic than lemon juice. Lemon juice has a pH of around 2, while acid rain typically has a pH in the range of 4.2 to 4.4 due to the presence of sulfuric and nitric acids.
Acid rain is acidic.
This is an acidic rain.
oil from cars are 1 of the resons it turns to acidic rain
It is not.
It affects because it causes Acidic rain and acidic rain contaminate the water.
Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH around 5.6 due to the natural presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Acid rain, on the other hand, has a lower pH (below 5.6), caused by pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides reacting with water in the atmosphere.
if there is reactor in your area then only first rain is acidic if industries and factories are located far then first rain is not acidic always
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
Acid is in rain everywhere in the world
One cause of acidic ground water is polluted rain water, which can be acidic.
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
Rain water is generally acidic
