11. Read the given passage and Answer the questions based on the passage and
related concepts:[5]

Taj Mahal, the great wonder of the world, is made of white marble
which is composed of Calcium carbonate. About 60 years ago it was discovered
that this monument is being eaten away by acid rain. The Archeological Survey
India, which looks after this building of historical importance is of the opinion that
the atmospheric pollution due to vehicular traffic and industries, mainly
Mathura Refinery may be a major cause of acid rain in and around the monument.
Normal rain is slightly acidic because it absorbs some CO2 from the atmospheric
air. Acid rain is more than normal rain because it also has absorbed oxides of
nitrogen and sulpher.

(a) Which of the following is formula calcium carbonate?

(i) CaC2 (ii) CaCO3 (iii) CaCO2 (iv) Ca(CO3)2

(b) The gases which contribute to acid rain are

(i) SO2 (ii) SO3 (iii) NO2 (iv) All of these

(c) The gas liberated when acid falls on calcium carbonate is

(i) H2 (ii) CO2 (iii) CO (iv) C2O3

(d) Rain is called acid rain when its pH value is

(i) 3 (ii) 5.5 (iii) 7.8 (iv) 9.7

(e) select the correct statement about calcium.

(i) It is metal and its valency is 1

(ii) It`s electronic configuration is 2,8,8,2.

(iii) It is more reactive than Na and K.

(iv) It is non-metal with valency 2.
