How can you tell normal rain from acid rain?
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.
Rainfall that is below 5.6 on the pH scale is called what?
Rainfall with a pH below 5.6 is called acid rain. This occurs when the acidity of the rain is higher than normal, often due to pollutants in the atmosphere such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Acid rain can have harmful effects on the environment and can damage plants, wildlife, and buildings.
Is acid rain a chemical or physical change?
acid rain formation is chemical change when oxides of nitrogen or sulphur tri oxide present in the poluted atmosphere combines with rain water and they give respective acid solutions so the rain water become slitely acidic
Which type if precipitation may contain acidic pollutants rain snow or sleet?
Acid rain typically refers to rain or snow that has higher acidity than normal due to pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere. Sleet does not typically contain acidic pollutants.
Acid caused by pollutants that combine with water in the air?
Acid rain is formed when pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides mix with water in the atmosphere, creating acidic compounds like sulfuric acid and nitric acid. When this acid rain falls to the ground, it can have harmful effects on the environment, including damaging plants, buildings, and aquatic ecosystems.
Is rain a type of acid?
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
Is acid rain rain with acid?
Yes, Acid rain is rain with higher than normal levels of nitric and sulfuric acid.
Is sulfurics acid acid rain?
Sulfuric acid is present in rain along with nitric acid.
What is the difference between normal rain and acid rain since normal rain is acidic anyway?
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
What is rain that has more acid than normal in it called?
It is called acid rain.
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.
Are acid rain and normal rain both acidic?
Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH around 5.6 due to the natural presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Acid rain, on the other hand, has a lower pH (below 5.6), caused by pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides reacting with water in the atmosphere.
What is the pH of normal rain compared to the pH of acid rain?
Normal rain has a pH of around 5.6, while acid rain has a pH lower than 5.6 due to higher levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, leading to increased acidity.
Is acid rain more gaseous radioactive or more acidic than normal rain?
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
Is acid rain far more acidic than normal rain?
yes it is
Is acid rain far more radioactiveacidic or gaseous that normal rain?
Yes
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.
