Today also the rainwater is generally poluted.
Pure water has a ph of 7.
Pure water has a pH of 7.0 (neutral); however, natural, unpolluted rainwater actually has a pH of about 5.6. The acidity of rainwater comes from the natural presence of three substances (CO2, NO, and SO2) found in the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is present in the greatest concentration and therefore contributes the most to the natural acidity of rainwater. Hope this helps! :)
The pH of rainwater is normally from 6 - 6.5. Acid rain is rain with a pH of 5 and below.
It's because there is already natural CO2 in the rain water (from the atmosphere), and CO2 is an acidic gas. In today's world, there is no such thing as unpolluted water. We have successfully polluted the atmosphere and our earth. Our water is full of hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals, and a plethora of other toxins/pollutants.
synonyms: original, pure, unpolluted, natural antonyms: impure
No, it is normal

The rain water is very useful for growth of plants because it is mostly unpolluted and also leaching of salts takes place in the vecinity of plants.

Its natural.

Unpolluted rain should be neutral but many pollutants are acidic (oxides, dioxides and trioxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen in particular). These can become dissolved in rainwater it cause it to become acidic.
Unpolluted seawater is a cloudy/clear colour, formed from the natural water found in it and salt, among other things
The mountain stream is unpolluted, providing clean and fresh drinking water for the nearby community.
Natural rainwater has a pH of around 5.6. I believe rain is considered to be "acid rain" when it has a pH of 5.0 or below.
