Acid rain affects buildings and statues made of limestone and marble, primary in to different ways. This is alteration and dissolution. When sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, there are roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive. Sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum. The temperature of the surface of the calcium carbonate, which is a form of limestone and marble, affects how quickly acids react with it. The concentration of acid also affects how quick the reaction is.

What are humans doing to make acid rain worse?
Humans are contributing to acid rain by emitting pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fossil fuels and industrial activities. These pollutants combine with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, leading to acid rain. Additionally, deforestation and agricultural activities can release more acidic compounds into the atmosphere.
A chemist has one solution that is 80 percent acid and another solution that is 30 percent acid How much of the first 80 percent solution is needed to make a 400 L solution that is 62 percent acid?
To create a 400 L solution that is 62% acid, you would need 200 L of the 80% acid solution and 200 L of the 30% acid solution. This would result in a final solution with the desired concentration.
What is the word that can make limestone rocks slowly dissolve away?
The word you are looking for is "acid rain." Acid rain, which forms from the reaction of water with carbon dioxide in the air, can slowly dissolve limestone rocks over time.
Why are base burns worse than acid burns?
Acids dehydrate organic tissue (your skin) or only slightly damage your top layer of the skin. Strongly alkaline bases like sodium hydroxide actually reacts with your skin and lipids and dissolves them. This is why you can end up with some base burns that can be even worse than sulfuric acid burns.
What alcohol and acid make up ethyl acetate?
Ethanol and acetic acid combine to form ethyl acetate through a process called esterification.
Can drinking tea bring on acid reflux?
Two foods primarily make acid reflux worse: acid foods and alcoholic beverages. Regular tea has acid in it, so will be a problem if you have acid reflux. Coffee is worse, and soda pop is really bad. Orange juice, tomato products are bad, too.
Will sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid corrode steel?
Both Hydrochloric Acid and Sulfuric Acid will corrode steel. HCl is used as a "pickling agent" for steel by converting rust (Iron Oxide) to Ferrous Chloride. H2SO4 is also capable of attacking Iron and Magnesium to form Metal-Sulfate mineral complexes. The corrosion rate of steel in sulfuric acid depends on temperature and concentration. In storage tanks and pipes the corrosion rate is also a function of flow velocity. but if you try flourosulphuric acid then it will literally make the steel disappear.... and acids like carborane and magic acid these are strongest acids
Does Acid Rain Make Steel Rust Faster?
Yes, acid rain can accelerate the rusting process of steel by reacting with the iron in the steel to form iron oxide (rust) more quickly than regular water would. The acidity in the rain can break down the protective layer on the steel, making it more susceptible to corrosion.
Does sweating affect poison ivy?
It spreads the rash, making it worse.
How much coke or vinegar to take for acid reflux?
Coke and vinegar are both acidic, and so would make your acid reflux worse.
What is some interesting info about zirconium?
resistant to corrosion from seawater ,acid,alkis,very strong can be make scissor,knife,and other .be create clear diamonds
Does adding sugar and bleach to boiling water make acid?
Yes it would make acid, thanks for asking
What does drugs do to kids?
it will make them do worse in school, have behavior problems,something along those lines or worse i would expect
Is milk is good or bad for uric acid?
if you are asking about uric acid pains, milk acts as a pain-stopping agent, but it does not have a positive affect about stopping the actual acid pain, and it may make it worse. if you are talking about normal function, it is healthy.
What would cause a muffler to make noise?
Damage. Hole. Perished gasket. Incorrectly fitted. Corrosion.
Which metal and acid would you use to make sodium chloride?
The metal: sodium. The acid: hydrochloric acid.
What acid would you add to potassium hydroxide to make potassium chloride and water?
To make potassium chloride and water from potassium hydroxide, you would add hydrochloric acid (HCl). The reaction would be: KOH + HCl → KCl + H2O
