Rainwater has a ph below 7 because raindrops absorb co2 which can react with water to form carbonic acid.

This statement is true. Pure water has a neutral pH of 7. However, the atmosphere is a mixture of gases, which includes carbon dioxide among others. When it interacts with carbon dioxide, this reaction occurs:

H₂O + CO₂ → H₂CO₃

The product is carbonic acid which is a weak acid. Because the pH of an acid is below 7, the rain would also have a pH below 7.

The values used in the scale of pH and pOH are derived from a system designed by ______. Gordonsen Sorenson Curie Dalton
yaroslaw [1]

Sorenson

Explanation:

The values used in the scale of pH and pOH are derived from a system designed by Sorenson. Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen, a Danish chemist introduced the system of pH and pOH for describing the alkalinity and acidity of substances.

  • The pH and pOH scale is logarithmic scale that ranks the acidity and bascity of compounds.
  • pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of  hydrogen/hydroxonium ions in solution i.e

              pH = -log₁₀{H⁺]

  • pOH is the negative log of the concentration of the hydroxyl ions in a solution i.e

             pOH = -log₁₀{OH⁻]
