When rain is accompanied by a thunderstorm, the collected rain water will have a pH value

A

slightly lower than that of rain water without thunderstorm

B

slightly higher than that when the thunderstorm is not there.

C

uninfluenced by occurrence of thunderstorm.

D

which depends upon the amount of dust in air.

Text Solution
