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.

What 2 pollutants react with water to produce acid rain?

The two pollutants that react with water to produce acid rain are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). When these pollutants are released into the atmosphere from activities like burning fossil fuels, they can combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.
