Question

Acid rain over the Great Lakes has a pH of about 4.5. Calculate the \(\left[\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}\right]\) of this rain and compare that value to the \(\left[\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}\right]\) of rain over the West Coast that has a pH of 5.4. How many times more concentrated is the acid in rain over the Great Lakes?
