Rainwater is slightly acidic because ... Water reacts with carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid. Due to high carbon dioxide emission in oceans, it explains why sea waters are acidic. Carbonic acid then breaks down into hydrogen ions and hydro carbonates ions. The hydrogen ion raises the water pH and, thus, causes the rainwater to be slightly acidic.
