It has been found that marbles of Taj are getting corroded due to development of industrial areas around it. Explain this fact giving a chemical equation.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Composition of Taj Marbles**: The marbles of the Taj Mahal are primarily made of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). 2. **Identifying the Cause of Corrosion**: The corrosion of these marbles is attributed to the presence of acidic gases released from industrial activities surrounding the area. These gases can include sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), which can lead to the formation of acid rain. ...

A zinc plate was kept in a glass container having CuSO_(4) solution. On examining it was found that the blue colour of the solution is getting lighter. After a few days, when the zinc palte was taken out of the solution, a number of small holes were noticed in it. state the reason and give chemical equation of the reaction invovled.

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. Pollution befouls the air and poisons water. Pollution induces the release of toxicants into the biosphere which makes the air unsuitable for breathing,harms the quality of water and soil, and causes the emission of substances that may cause damagae to humans, plants and animals. To cater to the needs of an increasing population, agriculturre has been intensified through the use of a wide spectrum of fertizilers and pesticides. Diverse industries have been set up to produce chemicals including those that pose a danger to all life forms. Rapid industrialisation has led to deterioration in the quality of air. Widespread use of coal and fossil fuels in industries and petroleum fuel in motor vehicles has aggravated the air pollution problem. Our atmosphere seems to have become a waste basket into which dust, noxious fumes, toxic gases and other pollutants are callously thrown. The intensity of air pollution in Indian cities is increasing primarily due to our vintage vehicles and their poor performance. Water pollution, too has increased with the growth of our pollution and also that of our industries. Water pollution has acquired dangerous dimensions ever since sewage and industrial effluents have started being disposed of into the rivers. Once considered sacred, the rivers are now turning murky and stink.It is sad that almost three-fourths of our fellow citizens have no choice but to drink filthy water. The severely polluted rivers due to mindless dumping of sewage and industrial wastes are a cause for concern not only to us humans but also to myriads of life forms that exist in water. On the French and italian rivieras we can no longer see the sparkling blue waters. The Mediterranean Sea is reported to be turning grey. Rivers and canals pour sewage, detergents and industrial waste into the sea, tankers flush their contents near the river or sea, bottles. rotting garbage and oil slicks are washed into the beaches. The phosphates and nitrates applied to farmlands as inorganic fertilizers, concentrate in lakes and estuaries causing algal blooms due to which wide expanses of water get choked, plants rot, oxygen is used up and fish die. Since when has water pollution acquired dangerous dimensions?
