Raindrops falling on my head... Find the pH of a drop of rain water assuming that each reaches equilibrium with the atmosphere before falling to the ground and that there are no other chemicals in the raindrop that affect the pH. Perform your calculation for i. 1900 (296 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere) - ii. 2022 (421 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere).
