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.

pH=7 will be neutral.

Answer for acidic rain can be 5, 6, even 6.5.

It's not 5. The actual answer is 5.6.

How it is?

Sumit said:   9 years ago
But according to Indian Standard. If pH is less than 5 then only it could be considered as acid rain.

I think less than 7 is called acidic. Answer should be B.
