Front

Which gas does NOT make rain more acidic than pure water?

Back

NH₃ (Ammonia)

Front

What is the pH range of an acid?

Back

Lower than 7; acids are a source of H⁺ ions.

Front

What is true about the pH scale?

Back

Acidic solutions have a pH of less than 7.

Front

What does pure water represent in terms of ion concentration?

Back

Equal amounts of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions.

Front

What is acid rain?

Back

Rain that has been made more acidic due to pollutants like SO₂ and NOₓ.

Front

What is the effect of increased CO₂ on ocean water?

Back

It leads to ocean acidification, harming marine life.
