Rate od reaction would depend on:
- Concentration )pH) of the acid rain
- Material of construction of the statue (Limestone significant impact, granite none)
- The average temperature
- The exposure to wind, rain and sunshine (to heat the statue)
- Any preservative measures used as maintenance

Why would statues look different due to weathering?
they crumble by acid rain and they rain makes hole in the statue they crumble by acid rain and they rain makes hole in the statue they crumble by acid rain and they rain makes hole in the statue
How can rain deteriorate the stone in statue?
there is acid in rain.
What happens in when SO2 reacts with rain water?
When SO2 [Sulphur Dioxide] reacts with water Sulphuric Acid [H2SO4] is created, which is commonly refered to as "acid rain."
What gas is let off when acid rain reacts with sea weed?
maybe the acid rain effect on the sea wood in the rivers
Acid rain damaging a marble statue is a physical change?
false
What are the effects of the sulfur trioxide in the air?
It reacts with moisture to form sulfuric acid, resulting in acid rain.
What effects how quickly acid rain reacts with calcium carbonate?
It is cus of the lower
Is the Statue of Liberty a physical change or a chemical change?
No its a chemical change because the acid in the rain reacts with the copper in the statue having a reaction oxidizing it and turning it green.

How can rain deteriorate the stone in statue?
there is acid in rain.
Does acid rain cause marble to dissolve?
Yes, it does! marble is basic and reacts with the acid rain.
What happens in when SO2 reacts with rain water?
When SO2 [Sulphur Dioxide] reacts with water Sulphuric Acid [H2SO4] is created, which is commonly refered to as "acid rain."
Why does calcium carbonate react to acid rain?
sulfuric acid in the rain water reacts with calcium carbonate.
What is made during sulfur dioxide pollution?
acid rain; SO2, i.e. sulfur dioxide, reacts with water to produce H2SO3, or sulfurous acid, which then reacts with oxygen to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4), and dissolves in rain to fall as acid rain
Rain that contains a large amount of acid?
acid rain (it can destroy limestone) (it also made the Statue of Liberty green)
How does acid rain arose?
When sulfur dioxide is released from factories and other sources, it goes up to the clouds and reacts with water to form a dilute sulfuric acid. The acid being dilute is the main reason behind the long term effects of acidic rain.
What is pH of acid rain?
Acid rain has a pH of 5.0 or less. Rain reacts with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and forms a mildly acidic carbonic acid before it becomes rain.
