The Acid Rain Problem. Carbon dioxide in the air can dissolve in rain water to form carbonic acid, H 2 CO 3. CO 2 + H 2 O H 2 CO 3. Carbonic acid is a weak acid. It partially ionises to form hydrogen ions. H 2 CO 3 H + + HCO 3 -. The hydrogen ions from carbonic acid give natural rain water a slightly acid pH value of 5.6.
â¢ carbon dioxide in atmosphere combines with water to make carbonic acid!â¢ carbonic acid weathers rocks!â¢ limestone (calcium carbonate) forms in bodies of water !â¢ plate tectonics returns limestone to deeper in Earth !â¢ volcanic eruptions send carbon dioxide back to atmosphere !
