Acid rain is acidic. It has a low Ph. coaquina and other forms of limestone are alkaline. When the two combine there is a chemical reaction which will dissolve the limestone. The acid and the limestone will form a compound which is generically called a salt (probably calcium sulphate or calcium chloride). The amount of salt form will be dependent upon the acidity of the acid rain.

Acid rain will break down coquina and lime over time. This is not good as coquina and lime are often used in building materials. Acid rain can also break down buildings and statues that are in areas protected from the acid rain.
