Answer:

Explanation:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details.

The following happens to occur when dilute sulphuric acid reacts with marble piece -

  • Marble is made of gypsum. Gypsum is calcium sulfate. When it reacts with sulphuric acid it forms a protective barrier on the surface of the marble so that no more damage occurs to the marble.
  • Sulphuric acid is present in acid rain or polluted air. When this rainfall on the marble of any monument, the calcite dissolves, and a black crust is formed. This black crust is formed when calcite reacts with sulphuric acid and water.
  • It tends to destroy the natural structure of marble and tends to destroys the beautiful monument.
  • Due to pollution sulfate and nitrate present in air reacts with water to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid, and so when rain occurs it will fall on the marble.
