What will happen if dilute hydrochloric acid was added to sandstone?

If dilute hydrochloric acid is added to sandstone, the acid may react with any calcite present in the sandstone, causing it to fizz and release carbon dioxide gas. However, the effect would be limited as sandstone is mainly composed of silica, which is not reactive to hydrochloric acid. Thus, the overall impact on the sandstone would be minimal.


What happens if sandstone is heated?

When sandstone is heated, the minerals within it may undergo chemical changes and can potentially recrystallize, altering its physical properties. This can result in the release of water and organic matter within the sandstone, leading to changes in its color, texture, and strength. In extreme cases, excessive heating can cause the sandstone to fracture or break apart.


What is the chemical formula for sandstone?
