How can scientists use a chemical reaction to separate a fossil from limestone without damaging the fossil?

The limestone containing a fossil would be heaated to a sufficiently high temperature (about 1,800 centigrade).then the limestone would become powder and the fossil which is not as sensitive to heat as limestone would remain un damaged

When acid on limestone produces carbon dioxide gas what change is this?
This a chemical reaction.
Is absorbency a chemical or physical property?
Scientists make a distinction: physical absorption (without chemical reaction) and chemical absorption (involving a chemical reaction).
Is limestone dissolved by carbonic acid a chemical weathering or a mechanical weathering?
This is chemical weathering. Carbonic acid (and often sulphuric acid from SO2) destroy CaCO3 (limestone) through chemical attack.Carbonic acid is formed by reaction of H2O and CO2 to create H2CO3.
Is the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide with other substances called oxidation?
No, it's called carbonization (wheathering of limestone)
What role does carbon dioxide play in forming limestone as a chemical precipitate?
The reaction is:Ca(OH)2 + CO2 = CaCO3 + H2O

this crap is so hard good luck finding the answer dushe <shelby>
Chemical reaction between sulfuric acid and limestone?
Carbon Dioxide
When acid on limestone produces carbon dioxide gas what change is this?
This a chemical reaction.
What is the chemical property of limestone producing carbon dioxide and lime?
This is a thermally decomposition reaction.
What chemical test can be made to identify limestone?
Limestone will lightly fizz when vinegar is applied to the surface, from the reaction of the acid with the calcium carbonate in the stone.
Is acid on a limestone producing carbon dioxide gas a physical or chemical change?
chemical because the limestone is reacting with the acid
When limestone fizzes when acid is added is physical or chemical change?
chemical change
What is the chemical reaction that air is within soil?
Scientists pls help me
Is absorbency a chemical or physical property?
Scientists make a distinction: physical absorption (without chemical reaction) and chemical absorption (involving a chemical reaction).
What is the reaction between limestone and marble chalk?
Any chemical reaction ! You think probably to relation: all are forms of calcium carbonate - CaCO3.
Is the chemical reaction of carbonization with other substances called oxidation?
No, it's called carbonization (wheathering of limestone)
Is oxidation the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide with other substances?
No, it's called carbonization (wheathering of limestone)
