Question

acid rain react with marble and limestone to form
?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. ... This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid.

Answer 2

When acid rain reacts with marble and limestone:

Explanation:

• A chemical reaction occurs when acidic rainwater falls on limestone and chalk. The reaction produces new, soluble molecules. These dissolve in water and are washed away, causing the rock to weather. Some forms of rock are resistant to chemical weathering.
• Acid rain can cause damage to structures, historic monuments, and statues, particularly those built of calcium carbonate-rich rocks like limestone and marble. The calcium compounds in the stones react with the acids in the rain to form gypsum (hydrated calcium sulphate).

• $CaCO_3(s)+H_2SO_4$  ⇒    $CaSO_4(s)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$
