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.
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.
Is rooibos a acid base or neutral?
Rooibos tea is naturally acidic, with a pH usually ranging from 4.4 to 6. This makes it slightly acidic when compared to neutral substances with a pH of 7.
Can you Give me name of two pollutants found in air which make rain-water more acidic?
Two pollutants found in air that can make rain water more acidic are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants can react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground in the form of acid rain.
Is rain acidic?
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.
What pH is Rain Naturally?
Slightly acidic
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
Which gas in unpolluted air makes the rain acidic?
CO2
Is acid rain more gaseous radioactive or more acidic than normal rain?
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
What happens if acidic rain infiltrate into the layers of the soil?
acidic rain if it penetrates into the soil pollutes the underground aquifers.this makes underground water unfit for drinking.

Is there acid in fresh water?
rain water is naturally slightly acidic im not sure about fresh water.
Is rain acidic or alkaline?

Is acid rain acidic?
Yes, but I wouldn't worry about it burning you. The typical pH level of acid rain is about 5.0. That makes it less acidic than lemon juice with a pH of about 2.5.
How can acidic rain affect trees?
it kills the trees and makes em ugly
What is a cause of acid rain?
Although rain is naturally acidic (pH 5.6), what we consider to be acid rain occurs from polluntants, mainly sulfiric and nitric acid. They are given off by factories and cars.
What makes acidrain acidic?
Acid rain is caused by, mainly, sulphur oxides and, to a lesser extent, nitrogen oxides dissolved in the rain.
