Paulina Booker · Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Have a pH of less than 5.6

Explanation:

Acid rain is the result of water in precipitation mixing with acidic components or substances such as nitrogen oxide that are the result of natural processes such as volcanic activity or human activities such as industries. This type of precipitation contains more hydrogen than normal and therefore is more acidic, in these terms acid rain is any precipitation with a pH (Hydrogen concentration) lower than 5.6 as unpolluted precipitation pH is above 5.7 which means regular precipitation is slightly acid or neutral. According to this, to be considered acid rain, precipitation would have to have a pH of less than 5.6.

To be considered acid rain, precipitation would have to-contain a lot of carbon dioxide-have a pH of less than 5.6-contain chlorofluorocarbons-occur in an industrial area
