The rainwater collected from the city B will be more acidic.
As lower the pH value of the solution, the more will the acidity of the solution.
This is because the acidity increases gradually for the solutions having pH value of less than 7.
If the pH value of rainwater A is assumed as 6, then the concentration of hydrogen in rainwater with pH value 6 is 10 ^ -6 molecules/litre of hydrogen ions.
The concentration of hydrogen in rainwater with pH value 5 in rainwater B is 10 ^ -5 molecules/litre of hydrogen ions.
Thus, the ratio will be 6:5.

Answer:

This is because the acidity increases gradually for the solutions having pH value of less than 7.
If the pH value of rainwater A is assumed as 6, then the concentration of hydrogen in rainwater with pH value 6 is 10^-6 molecules/litre of hydrogen ions.
The concentration of hydrogen in rainwater with pH value 5 in rainwater B is 10^-5 molecules/litre of hydrogen ions.
Thus, the ratio will be 1:10
