"Acid rain" forms when rain falls through air polluted by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, which dissolve to form acids such as H₂SO3, H₂SO4, and HNO3. Trees and plants are affected if the acid rain has a pH of 3.5 or lower. What is the hydrogen ion concentration in acid rain that has a pH of 3.21? What is the pH of a solution having twice your calculated hydrogen ion concentration?
