Question

Acid rain has a pH of 4.2 to 4.4 .this approximately 1pH unit lower than normal rain water .Given your knowledge of the pH scale,explain how the concentration of hydrogen ions differs between these two solution

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal, clean rain has a pH value of between 5.0 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic. However, when rain combines with sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides—produced from power plants and automobiles—the rain becomes much more acidic. Typical acid rain has a pH value of 4.0.
