reacting with the water to form carbonic acid. :)
Carbon Dioxide
Normal rain water is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbonic acid. Rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, leading to its slight acidity. When additional carbon dioxide or sulphur dioxide is released into the air, it is absorbed into clouds and makes rain more acidic.
Carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide. It's a gas that, if it's dissolved in liquids (such as water and also blood) makes that liquid acidic. The more carbon dioxide is dissolved in the liquid the more acidic it gets. So if you don't exhale carbon dioxide but still inhale it the blood turns acidic. This is what happens when you hyperventilate. More carbon dioxide is absorbed during inhalation than is emitted during exhalation. This is a simplified explanation so please don't quote me in academic circles.
The reaction of carbon dioxide with water droplets in the atmosphere makes rain naturally mildly acidic. As a result, "normal rain" has a pH of about 5.6 rather than a neutral pH of 7.
Soda is carbonated, meaning that it has carbon dioxide dissolved in it. Some of this carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with water (H2O) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which makes it acidic

Rainwater is slightly acidic because the CO2 in the atmosphere is soluble in water (the water in the air). When in solution CO2 forms a weak acid (Carbonic acid) which makes pure rainwater a weak acid.
Rain is natrually acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide to produce carbonic acid. CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3 Sulfur dioxide from volcanoes can also contribute to natural acidity 2SO2 + 2H2O + O2 --> 2H2SO4 Rainwater can be made even more acidic due to sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide from burning fossil fuels reacting to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid respectively. 3NO2 + H2O --> 2HNO3 + NO

Carbon dioxide makes conditions more acidic. If moisture is present carbonic acid will form.

salt salt makes it more acidic
Yes it will make your blood more acidic as you are inhaling carbon dioxide. This enters the blood and makes blood more acidic as it creates carbonic acid.
When water falls from the sky, it mixes with CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) on the way down... Its referred to as, Acid Rain
Yes. Because it increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the body and makes it acidic.
