Actually acid is not reacted with all type of the sedimentary rocks. Acid is only reacted with carbonate rocks and with those rocks which having the carbonate contents.
Every serious field geologist carries a small bottle of acid to perform this quick field test, used to distinguish the most common carbonate rocks, dolomite and limestone. A few drops of the acid are put on the rock, and limestone responds by fizzing vigorously. Dolomite fizzes only very slowly.
