Acid precipitation can have serious effects on freshwater organisms, crops, and forests.
Acid precipitation can also damage buildings and statues made of limestone or marble.
Limestone and marble are made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO 3(s).
Limestone and marble are made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO 3(s). When calcium carbonate is exposed to sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4(aq) ), the following reaction occurs:
CaCO 3(s) + H 2 SO 4(aq)
Limestone and marble are made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO 3(s). When calcium carbonate is exposed to sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4(aq) ), the following reaction occurs: CaCO 3(s) + H 2 SO 4(aq) CaSO 4(s)
