Sunny and Bunny are neighbours staying in the same apartment. In summer vacation, one day they wanted to prepare some snaks for eating. During that process, the food material fell on the floor and the beautiful marble flooring became dirty. Sunny was afraid that his mother would scold him and in aa hurry, brought some acid to clean the floor. But, Bunny stopped him and said that it will spoil the flooring permanently. Why did Bunny say so? Give reason.

Explanation

The major component of marble is `CaCO_(3)`. It being basic in nature, reacts with an acid to form salt and water (neutralisation reaction). Hence, acids being reactive with marble, they cannot be used for cleaning marble flooring.
