Both statements are correct. Normally rain water has pH of 5.6 due to the presence of H + ions formed by the reaction of rain water with carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere.

Q. Given below are two statements :
Statement I : The pH of rain water is normally $\sim 5.6$ .
Statement II : If the $p H$ of rain water drops below $5.6,$ it is called acid rain.
In the light of the above statements,
choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Both statements are correct. Normally rain water has $p H$ of 5.6 due to the presence of $H^{+}$ ions formed by the reaction of rain water with carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere.
