Raindrops falling on my head... Find the pH of a drop of rain water assuming that each reaches equilibrium with the atmosphere before falling to the ground and that there are no other chemicals in the raindrop that affect the pH. Perform your calculation for i. 1900 (296 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere) - ii. 2022 (421 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere).
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
![a. Raindrops falling on my head... Find the pH of a drop of rain water assuming that
that there are no other chemicals in the raindrop that affect the pH. Perform your

i. 1900 (296 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere)
ii. 2022 (421 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere).
(HINT: write out the proton condition; you can assume that the pH will be acidic).
