Limestone is not igneous; it is a sedimentary rock.
Limestone is a common sedimentary rock of biochemical origin. It is largely composed of calcite. Sometimes it is almost pure calcite but more often it is mixed with many other minerals and sand.

Does limestone react in hydrochloric acid?
The formula for limestone is CaCO3 and hydrocloric acid is HCL. Therefore they undergo a acid + metalcarbonate reaction. acid + metal carbonate -> salt +water + carbon di oxide. So when limestone reacts with HCl it prodcues salt (CaCl2) , water (H2O) and carbon di oxide (CO2(bubbles)). thus limestone reacts with HCl
