1. Acids rains are rains which have acidic components such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid and carbonic acid. Those acids are made by dissolving the components in water which are from oxidation of the gases such as  SO₂, NO₂ and CO₂. The marble has CaCO₃ as the major component. The acids in acid rains can react with CaCO₃ by producing soluble salts. That's why <span>acid rain dissolves statues made of marble.

2. The reaction between CaCO</span>₃ and H₂SO₄ acid is
      CaCO₃(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → CaSO₄(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

CaSO
₄ is slightly soluble in water. But the solubility of CaSO₄ compared to CaCO₃ is very high. Hence, due to the acid rains, <span>degradation of </span>statues made of marble (CaCO₃) is higher than in normal situations.

Which pair of elements would you expect to exhibit the greatest similarity in their physical and chemical properties? Sr, Te Ga,
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

N and P will have similarity

Electronic configuration of N

2,5

1s²2s²p⁵

Electronic configuration of  P

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵

Electronic configuration bears similarity.

Both have 5 electrons in their outermost orbits . So they exhibit similarity in their properties. Both belong to the same 15 th group of periodic table.

Sr and Rb too bear much similarity . Both are strongly electro-positive metal , difference in their atomic no being only one.
