The answer is simple.
The answer is it'll react to it or not!
My science teacher told me that it'll whether react or not because it really doesn't matter!
Tons of rocks don't have much reaction to acids!
** It depends sometimes on what acid you're using!(:

Would there be a reaction if you add acid to a rock that had been near a igneous rock?
Not unless there is calcite in it.
What happens when you add an alkali to an alkali?
A chemical reaction. Acid + alkali = salt + water eg H2SO4 + 2NaOH = Na2SO4 + 2H2O Sulfuric acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Sulfate + water Whan as acid meets an alkali they create a chemical reaction. If there is an acid and you add a weak alkali you should bring it down to neutral.
How might a geologist use acid in the field to identify carbonate rocks such as anhydrite and gypsum?
If you put cold dilute Hydrochloric acid on a carbonate rock the acid dissolves the rock and you get bubbles of carbon dioxide in the acid. This reaction will only happen with carbonate rocks.
Why does vinegar cause sedimentary rocks to fizzle?
Vinegar, which is acidic, reacts with the calcite or limestone present in sedimentary rocks, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide gas. The fizzing or bubbling you observe is the visible evidence of this reaction. This reaction between the acid and the calcium carbonate in the rock is similar to the reaction that occurs when acid is added to baking soda.
Caves and caverns are formed in carbonate rocks by?
The reaction of carbonic acid in rain and groundwater with the carbonate rock.
What is the reaction of acid and hydroxide?
What is the reaction of acid and hydrogen
Can chalk dissolve in HCl and why?
Chalk is primarily calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When it meets an acid, this reaction will occur: 2H+ + CO3- => CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
Is magnesium and hydrochloric acid an acid-base reaction?
No, it is a single displacement reaction. It can also be called a redox reaction. It is not an acid base reaction because although hydrochloric acid is obviously and acid, magnesium is a metal, not a base.
When dilute hydrochloric acid is placed on the sedimentary rock limestone and the metamorphic rock marble bubbling reaction occurs with both What would this indicate?
The minerals of these rocks are similar.
What kind of reaction is nitric acid and potassium carbonate is?
This is considered an acid/base reaction.
What is reaction mechanism of uric acid and ascorbic acid?
give structure of reaction mechanism of uric acid
What kind of reaction is a neutralization reaction?
An acid-base reaction that leaves no excess H+ or OH-
