What happens when you add an acid limestone?
Limestone is mainly composed of calcium carbonate. It will react with acids to produce carbon dioxide, a salt and water, and the limestone will slowly dissolve away - an experiment easily performed by pouring vinegar on a piece of limestone. In the outdoors: Acid rain (from industrial pollution mixing with falling rain) cause limestone to dissolve, increasing the natural effect of rain water erosion of rock - forming potholes, caverns - and clints and grykes (fissures) on 'limestone pavements'.
