What causes acid rain in California?
Polution or just a low pH level in the rain. (low pH means stronger acid)
What is the highest pH ever recorded from acid rain and where?
The highest ever recording was 4.9 i think in EuropeAnswer:Normal rain has a pH of 5.5 to 4.5. Acid rain has pH of anything less than 4.5 and reaches its strongest (lowest pH) value at about a pH of 2.The highest pH for acid rain (the weakest acid rain) would be at the lower value of normal rain water.
Why does Clay react with Acid rain?
Clay is a material with a significant number of ionic particles in its make-up. The addition of a low pH material like acid rain alters these balances and destroys the structure of the clay. In addition the low pH materials interact with carbonates in the clay to create carbon dioxide, and allow it to escape from the soil.
What is the pH of clay soil?
Depends solely on the area it's in. If there has been acid rain, one would think it would be rather low. If there hasn't been acid rain, it would be at least higher than 7
Acid rain's effect on the ocean?
It's acid...it lowers the pH of the water.
What causes acid rain in California?

What is the pH of rain?
A "normal" rain is considered to have a pH of 5,7. But the pH of acid rains can be as low as 2. The pH of rain is very variable on the Earth and during the year.
What is an example of acid rain changing the pH soil killing some trees?
Acid rain has a low pH indicating that it is acidic. The pH in the soil can have a detrimental effect on some trees.
PH of acid rain?
acid rain pH 4.2 - 4.4
What is the pH of acid rain and normal rain?
Clean rain has a ph of 5.6, while the ph of acid rain is 4.2-4.4.
What is the average pH level of acid rain?
Regular rain water is slightly acidic, with a pH of about 5.6 due to the presence of carbonic acid from the reaction between carbon dioxide and water. Acid rain pH has been recorded as low as 2.0 with an average value of 4.3.
Does acid rain increase the pH of streams?
Actually, it decreses the pH, because the pH of acids are towards the low end (0) of the pH scale.
What is the pH of normal rain compared to the pH of acid rain?
normal rain- 5.6 acid rain- 3 to 4
Is acid a natural substance?
yes, their is natural acid in your stomoch to disolve your food, but it does depend on the type of acid. Pyro2012: ACID is a term given to Another substance with a high pH level. Another answer is: No,if you think about ACID RAIN, is caused by dangerous chemicals emitted from factories,mainly Sulfuric acid. The pollution in respect to ACID RAIN lowers the pH(it tells you how acidic the substance is, in this case its the rain) levels are ,and the pollution lowers the pH level of the rain. Knowledge: High pH level= Low Acidity level Neutral pH(around 7)=neutral lol Low pH level= High acidity level
What is the pH level of acid rain?
Any rain with a pH level below 5.6 is considered to be acid rain. If the pH is anything else that is above 5.6, it would not be considered to be acid rain.
What is the pH range of normal rain and at what level does the pH become dangerous?
the pH of normal rain is said to be between 5.5 an 5. the pH is not 7 because carbonic acid is contained withing rain droplets from the atmosphere. this is how the atmosphere rids itself of toxins. pH of rain can also become very low when large amount of acid are present (from pollutants) the pH at which fish die in ponds when affected by acid rain is 4.9.

What is the pH of acid rain?
pH is the scale used by scientists to express the aidity of acid rain.
