it takes about 36 years for the acid rain to react with calcium carbonate which include limestone and marble. HOPE this help!

Why does calcium carbonate react to acid rain?
sulfuric acid in the rain water reacts with calcium carbonate.
How does calcium carbonate react with hydrocloric acid?
Forms Calcium Chloride.
Calcium carbonate react with dilute nitric acid?
calcium nitrate crystals
Is calcium carbonate carbonic acid?
No, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the calcium salt of carbonic acid (H2CO3). If a compound has the name of a metal in it (sodium, calcium, copper, etc) it is generally not an acid but a salt. A salt is formed when a metal ion or other positive ion takes the place of hydrogen in an acid.
What do you call the two chemicals that react together in antacid tablets?
Calcium Hydroxide (Alkali in the stomach) and Gastric Acid (in the stomach)
What affects how quickly acids react with calcium carbonate?
It's the concentration of the acid.Limestone and marble are forms of calcium carbonate.Acid rain reacts with calcium carbonate. The stronger the acid the more quickly it effects calcium carbonate and dissolves.
Which type of acid has calcium carbonate?
No acid contains calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is its own compound that is a base, not an acid. However, the erosion and deposition of calcium carbonate in nature is heavily influenced by carbonic acid.
Why would marble tend to react positively on the acid test?
Marble - of any type - is a rock made largely of calcium carbonate, on an elemental level. Calcium carbonate reacts with acid. It's that simple.
Does ammonium carbonate react with calcium chloride?
No, ammonium carbonate does not react with calcium chloride.
Is limestone mostly affected by acid rain?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) easily react with acids.
How is Calcium carbonate used to neutralise acid emissions from power stations?
The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid as per any carbonate: Calcium Carbonate + Acid -> Calcium Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
What happens when calcium carbonate reacts with water?
At standard temperature and pressure, calcium carbonate does not react with neutral water, but simply dissolves to a slight extent. If the water is sufficiently acidic as a result of other constituents, carbon dioxide gas can be displaced from the calcium carbonate.
