Marbel chalk and limestone all contain a substance called calcium carbonate. explain what would happen if they were each put into some hydrochloric acid?

The acide would react with the calcium carbonate, dissolving and eating it away.

What is the main substance in limestone?
The main substance in limestone is calcium carbonate.
What experiment can you do to find out how much calcium carbonate there is in limestone?
Limestone is mostly calcium carbonate. processing the total carbonates in the limestone via titration will work, using an acid such as hydrochloric acid.
What chemical limestone form?
Calcium carbonate or calcium magnesium carbonate.
How do you remove calcium carbonate from limestone floors?
Limestone is calcium carbonate. If you have a spill of calcium carbonate on the surface try brushing or polishing the floor.
What will be formed when hydrochloric acid is added to calcium carbonate?
The reaction between limestone and hydrochloric acid is an acid-carbonate reaction producing a salt, carbon dioxide and water. Limestone is chemically known as calcium carbonate (insoluble salt) and has the formula CaCO3. Hydrochloric acid is an acid and is written as HCl. When calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid reacts the following is formed: - Calcium chloride CaCl2 (soluble salt) - Carbon dioxide (CO2 gas) - Water (H2O) Due to the carbon dioxide being released, the observer will be able to see bubbling, effervescence or fizzing. CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) + [2Cl-(aq)] --> Ca2+(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) + [2Cl-(aq)]
What is the main substance in limestone?
The main substance in limestone is calcium carbonate.
Why is calcium carbonate a substance of limestone?
The chemical formula of limestone is CaCO3.

What metal has a carbonate found in nature called chalk?
Calcium is the metallic component of the substance limestone. Limestone, or calcium carbonate, is an example of a sedimentary rock.
What is the substance in limestone that reacts with acid?
Limestone is basically Calcium Carbonate(CaCO3). The metal part(Calcium) is the reactive part in it. It reacts with acids as well as bases. For example, it reacts with Hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride whereas reacts with Ammonium hydroxide to form Calcium Hydroxide.
What chemical limestone form?
Calcium carbonate or calcium magnesium carbonate.
Does limestone and water made calcium carbonate?
No. Limestone is Calcium Carbonate. Limestone plus water makes wet calcium carbonate. With a very slight amount of calcium carbonate dissolving.
Which carbonate mineral reacts readily with cool dilute hydrochloric acid to produce visible bubbles of carbon dioxide gas?
Limestone, chalk and marble. They are all mineral forms of calcium carbonate.
Is limestone an acidic or neutral or basic substance?
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, which is a base when dissolved in water
What is limestone calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate?
Calcium carbonate.
Why does powdered marble and powdered limestone have an identical reaction to hydrochloric acid?
Because chemically, both are mainly made from calcium carbonate.
How do you remove calcium carbonate from limestone floors?
Limestone is calcium carbonate. If you have a spill of calcium carbonate on the surface try brushing or polishing the floor.
