Statues coated with white lead on long exposure to atmosphere turn black and their original colour can be restored on treatment with H_2 O_2 . Why?

Answer»

Solution :On long exposure to ATMOSPHERE, white lead gets converted to BLACK`PbS` due to action of `H_2S` present in the atmosphere.
`PbO_2 + underset("From atmosphere")(H_2 S) + underset("Black")(PbS) + 2H_2 O`
As a result, statues turn black. On TREATMENT of these black statues with `H_2O_2` the black PbS gets oxidised to `PbSO_4` and their COLOUR is restored.
`PbS + H_2 O_2 to PbSO_4 + 4H_2 O`

Statues and monuments in India are affected by acid rain. How ?

Answer»

Solution :A large numbers of industris and power plants are around near the area of Taj Mahal. Which uses poor quality of COAL, KEROSENE and firewood because of this the air around the Taj Mahal contains fairly high level of sulphur and NITROGEN oxides. This resulting in acid rain which reacts with marble of Taj Mahal.
`CaCO_3 + H_2 SO_4 to CaSO_4 + H_2 O + CO_2`
Thus, this wonderful monument that has attracted PEOPLE from around the WORLD. As a result, the monument is being slowly disfigured and the marble is getting discoloured and lustreless.
