Which substance in acid rain makes it more acidic than natural rainwater?
Sulfuric acid
What is produced when rainwater mixes with pollutants?
It depends upon the types of pollutants, but a common result is acid rain.
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
Name of acid formed when sulfur oxides mixes with rainwater?
I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.
How does sulfur affect rainwater?
Sulfur oxides contribute to the formation of acid rains.
Which substance in acid rain makes it more acidic than natural rainwater?
Sulfuric 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 substance formed when water mixes with nitrogen sulfur oxides?
acid rain
Why the normal pH of rainwater is acidic?
Rainwater is normally acidic because the carbon dioxide in the air which mixes with rainwater to form weak acid. That's why its acidic ^_^ Rainwater is also because of the pollutions in the air and it mixes with the water so its not good. meee!
What is the pH of natural rainwater?
The pH of rainwater is normally from 6 - 6.5. Acid rain is rain with a pH of 5 and below.
Is rainwater natrually acidic?
Yes, rainwater is naturally slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide mixes with rainwater to form carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of the rainwater. However, human activities, such as emissions from burning fossil fuels, can increase the acidity of rainwater to harmful levels, leading to acid rain.
Is rainwater a acid?
no
What is the natural substance that contains acid?
the natural sustance which contain acid is citric acid.it is found in oranges,lemon etc
Why does rainwater containing sulphuric acid have a lower pH than rainwater that contains carbonic acid?
sulphuric acid is a stronger acid than carbonic acid. lower pH defines strength of acid.
