Solution Summary: The author explains how the number of marble statues damaged by the acid rain should be calculated under the condition that the statue is considered as damage.
During a certain time period, 4.0 million tons of SO2 was released into the atmosphere and was subsequently oxidized to SO3. As explained in the FYI, the acid rain produced when the SO3 dissolves in water can damage marble statues:

In the electrode Pt, H2(1 atm) | H+(a=1), if the electrode balance potential is -0.118 V and the interface potential difference is +5 mV. The current voltage will be 0.005 - (-0.118) = 0.123 V ¿Correcto?
In the electrode Pt, H2(1 atm) | H+(a=1) at 298K is 0.79 mA cm-2. If the balance potential of the electrode is -0.118 V and the potential difference of the interface is +5 mV. Determine its potential.
In one electrode: Pt, H2(1 atm) | H+(a=1), the interchange current density at 298K is 0.79 mA·cm-2. If the voltage difference of the interface is +5 mV. What will be the correct intensity at pH = 2?. Maximum transfer voltage and beta = 0.5.
