Unpolluted rainwater can be slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which reacts with water to form carbonic acid. This natural acidity of rainwater is typically very mild and not harmful to the environment.
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 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.
Unpoluted rain has a pH around 5.7 (very mild acid) but with typical levels of atmospheric polution in the US its pH is typically between 5.6 to 3.8 (mild acid) and exceptionally it can have a pH as low as 2 (fairly strong acidic) due to atmospheric polution such as Sulpher Dioxide which is disolved in the rain. Typically a universal indicator would show yellow for unpoluted rain, orange for mildly poluted rain and red for very poluted rain.
that would be 1
An acidic solution. Solutions with a pH below 7 are considered acidic.
The rainwater would be acidic with a pH less than 5.6.

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
Yes, there can be a pH difference between tap water, pond water, and rainwater. Tap water may be slightly basic or acidic depending on the source and treatment processes. Pond water can be more acidic due to factors like decaying organic matter. Rainwater tends to be slightly acidic due to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
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.

That would depend entirely on the type of fish, however species of animals are usually not classified as being alkaline OR acidic.
Yes. It grows out of control in some area's. I would class it as a weed.
The opposite would be uncorrupted, unpolluted, unblemished, clean, or sinless.
An intense bushfire would severely warp a plastic rainwater tank.
To prepare rainwater to distilled water, you can collect rainwater and then distill it using a distillation apparatus. This involves heating the rainwater to create steam, which is then condensed back into water, leaving impurities behind. The distilled water collected will be free of contaminants present in the original rainwater.
No, it's present tense. The past tense would be "The barrel collected rainwater"
