Natural rainwater has a pH of about 5.6. and is hence slightly acidic. NOTE:Pure water is neutral and has a pH of 7. Rain water absorbs carbon dioxide from the air it passes through on its way down. Carbon dioxide in the air can dissolve in rain water to form carbonic acid, H2CO3.
pH less than 7 is acidic in nature.
