How can you tell normal rain from acid rain?

Answer 1

All acid rain aspects are from water pollution and normal pollution. Please add something if necessary.

+++

Not so much add as modify! :-) Acid rain results when the water absorbs certain gases in the atmosphere to become acidic. This happens naturally anyway, by dissolving Carbon Dioxide to form the very weak Carbonic Acid; but the main acid-rain producing pollutant is Sulphur Dioxide from imperfect combustion of oil or coal containing sulphur.

Answer 2

Acid rain is more harmful than the ordinary rain.Acid rain consists of the varried forms of precipitation that have made acid by absorbing pollutants in the air.Ordinary or normal rain is a product of water cycle.

Answer 3

With the proper equipment, yes.

Rain is normally mildly acidic (with a pH lower than 7). However, readings as low as 2.4 ... about the same acidity as 0.004 M hydrochloric acid ... have been observed. In general, anything lower than about 5.7 is considered "acid rain", and it's easy to test this using a pH meter or pH test paper.

Answer 4

Normal rain has a pH level around 5.6, while acid rain has a pH level below 5.6 due to higher concentration of pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Acid rain can also cause damage to plants, buildings, and aquatic ecosystems.

Answer 5

Go outside, if you start to melt it's acid rain.

Answer 6

The rain that lands on the plants appears to burn through them or cause some sort of damage that is not normal of normal rain.
