Step-by-step explanation:
On the pH scale acidity ranges from pH values of 0-6.9. Natural rain water is slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is an anhydride of carbonic acid.
CO2(g) + H2O(l) -------> H2CO3(aq)
B. The equations that turn sulfur to sulfuric acid are;
S(l) + O2(g) -----> SO2(g)
2SO2(l) + O2(g) -----> 2SO3(g)
SO3(g) + H2SO4(l) -----> H2S2O7(l)
H2S2O7(l) + H2O(l) ----> 2H2SO4(l)
-
At pH 6, H^+ concentration = 1 * 10^-6 M
At pH 2, H^+ concentration = 1 * 10^-2 M
Hence;
1 * 10^-2/1 * 10^-6
= 10^4 times more acidic
