Due to attack to `SO_(2)` and `H_(2)SO_(4)`, the marble `(CaCO_(3))` of Taj Mahal and Red stone of Red Fort changed into calcium sulphate which is bulky and causes

A

stone leprosy

B

stone mosaic

C

corrosion

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Stone leprosy is due to `SO_(2)` that frms acid rain. The `SO_(2)` from Mathura refinery is the cause of stone leprosy of Taj Mahal. The red fort in Delhi is near old Delhi Railway Station where `SO_(2)` is main pollutant from coal burning in Railway yards and trains.

Oleum is considered as a solution of SO_(3) in H_(2)SO_(4) , which is obtained by passing SO_(3) in solution of H_(2)SO_(4) When 100 g sample of oleum is diluted with desired mass of H_(2)O then the total mass of H_(2)SO_(4) obtained after dilution is known is known as % labelling in oleum. For example, a oleum bottle labelled as 109% H_(2)SO_(4) means the 109 g total mass of pure H_(2)SO_(4) will be formed when 100 g of oleum is diluted by 9 g of H_(2)O which combines with all the free SO_(3) present in oleum to form H_(2)SO_(4) as SO_(3)+H_(2)O to H_(2)SO_(4) What is the % of free SO_(3) in an oleum that is labelled as 104.5% H_(2)SO_(4) ?

A water is said to be soft water if it produces sufficient foam with the soap and water that does not produce foam with soap is known as hard water. Hardness has been classified into two types (i)Temporary hardness (ii) Permanent hardness. Temporary hardness is due to presence of calcium and magnesium bicarbonate. It is simply removed by boiling as Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)overset(Delta)rarr CaCO_(3)darr+CO_(2)uarr+H_(2)O Mg(HCO_(3))_(2)overset(Delta)rarr MgCO_(3)darr+CO_(2)uarr+H_(2)O temporary hardness can also be removed by addition of slaked lime, Ca(OH)_(2) Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)+Ca(OH)_(2) to 2CaCO_(3)darr+2H_(2)O permanent hardsness is due to presencce of sulphates and chlorides of Ca,Mg,etc. It is removed by washing soda as CaCl_(2)+Na_(2)CO_(3) to CaCO_(3)darr+2NaCl CaSO(4)+Na_(2)CO_(3)to CaCO_(3)darr+Na_(2)SO_(4) Permanent hardness also removed by ion exchange resin process as 2RH+Ca^(2+)toR_(2)Ca+2H^(+) 2ROH+SO_(4)^(2-) to R_(2)SO_(4)+2OH^(-) The degree of hardness of water is measured in terms of PPm of CaCO_(3) 100 PPm means 100 g of CaCO_(3) is present in 10^(6) g of H_(2)O . If any other water sample which contain 120 PPm of MgSO_(4) , hardness in terms of CaCO_(3) is equal to =100 PPm. One litre of a sample of hard water (d=1 g/mL) cotains 136 mg of CaSO_(4) and 190 mg of MgCl_(2) . What is the total hardness of water in terms of CaCO_(3) ?
