| | Richard Renneboog, What Is pH? |
 | | Rainfall, as pure water, should have a pH value very close to 7.0, which indicates a solution that is neither acidic nor basic. |
 | | That is, whatever the concentration of H+ ions in the solution, the pH is just the negative value of the base 10 logarithm of that concentration. |
 | | The pH would now be 6, and there would be ten times more H+ in the solution, and it is therefore ten times more acidic than water. |
