Given below are two statements:
Statement I:
The pH of rain water is normally ~5.6.
Statement II:
If the pH of rain water drops below 5.6, it is called acid rain.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Question

Accepted Answer

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.. Rainwater typically has a pH of around 5.6 due to the presence of dissolved carbon dioxide, which forms carbonic acid. When the pH falls below this level, it indicates an increase in acidity, thus classifying it as acid rain.
