Which substance in acid rain makes it more acidic than natural rainwater?
Sulfuric acid
What is the relationship between sulfur dioxide and acid rain?
When sulfur dioxide dissolves in water it produces acid rain.
Which substance mixes with natural rainwater to form acid rain?
sulfur dioxide
What sentence correctly compares the acidity of acid rain to the acidity of natural rainwater?
Acid rain is slightly more acidic (has a lower pH) than normal rain.As an explanation the pHs of common materials (acids and basess) including Acid rain are:Lye 14.0Ammonia water 11.6Eggs 8.0Blood 7.3Distilled water 7.0Saliva 6.0Normal rain 5.7Acid rain 5.2Tomato Juice 4.2Apple Juice 3.0Coke products 2.5 to 4.2Vinegar 2.4
What does pollution in the air have to mix with to form acid rain?
Acid rain is any rain with a high elevation of hydrogen ions. Acid rain is caused with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide mix with the water molecules in the atmosphere that cause rain.
What has a result of acid rain that can weather marble when it dissolves in rainwater and sinks into the soil?
Carbon dioxide
What kind of carbon dissolves in rainwater?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common form of carbon that dissolves in rainwater. When CO2 from the atmosphere combines with rainwater, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is responsible for the mildly acidic nature of rain. This dissolved carbon in rainwater can then be utilized by plants for photosynthesis or can react with minerals in soil and water bodies.
What happens to rainwater to make it more acidic than usual?
Acid rain is an environmental concern all over the world. Acid rain happens when pollutants like sulfur and nitrogen mix with water in the atmosphere and fall as rain.
Is acid the same thing as rainwater?
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
Why carbon monoxide do not make acid rain?
No. Even when CO dissolves in rain, it does not form any acid.
How does the acidity of acid rain compared to the acidity of natural rainwater?
Natural rainwater has a pH of around 5.6. I believe rain is considered to be "acid rain" when it has a pH of 5.0 or below.
What is the pH of the rainwater?
The pH of rainwater is normally from 6 - 6.5. Acid rain is rain with a pH of 5 and below.
What is the pH of unpolluted rainwater?
The pH of rainwater is normally from 6 - 6.5. Acid rain is rain with a pH of 5 and below.
What is the pH level of rainwater?
The pH of rainwater is normally from 6 - 6.5. Acid rain is rain with a pH of 5 and below.
What is the acid in rainwater called?
Rain water contains sulfuric acid and nitric acid. If the concentrations of these acids are high, acid rain occurs.
How does acid rain affect limestone?
Rainwater is naturally slightly acidic because carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in it. Minerals in rocks may react with the rainwater, causing the rock to be weathered. Some types of rock are easily weathered by chemicals. For example, limestone and chalk are mostly calcium carbonate. When acidic rainwater falls on limestone or chalk, a chemical reaction happens. New, soluble, substances are formed in the reaction. These dissolve in the water, and then are washed away, weathering the rock. -BBC: The rock cycle
What materials do you need to make acid rain?
Pollution, from both cars and factories. It dissolves into the clouds and makes the rain slightly acidic
