What type of rection is taking place when limestone is heated?
it is the decomposition reaction, CaCO3 = CaO + CO2
Why does th surface of limestone crumble when heated?
The surface of limestone crumbles when heated because heat causes the moisture and other volatiles in the limestone to evaporate rapidly, leading to a process known as thermal spalling. This rapid evaporation creates pressure within the limestone, leading to the breakdown of its structure and causing it to crumble.
What substance is heated with limestone to prodce cement?
its heated with something
Which agent of weathering breaks down limestone statues?
Acid rain, which is formed from the reaction of carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere, can dissolve the calcium carbonate in limestone statues through a chemical process known as carbonation. This leads to the breakdown and erosion of the limestone over time.
What can be heated with clay to make cement?
calcium carbonate (limestone)
What is formed when limestone is heated?
When heated, limestone forms two different things. It forms both calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This occurs because limestone is made up of calcium carbonate.
Two products formed when limestone is heated?
quicklime is formed when lmesone is heated
What rock is squeezed and heated to form marble?
Limestone is the rock that is squeezed and heated to form marble. The high pressures and temperatures cause the limestone to recrystallize and become the metamorphic rock known as marble.
Does limestone become sandstone when heated?
No. Limestone changes to Marble when it undergoes intense heat and pressure.
What is the white solid produced when heating limestone?
When limestone (CaCO3) is heated, calcium oxide is produced!
What type of reaction is limestone when heated?
Heating of limestone is a decomposition reaction as limestone decomposes to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
What does limestone and marble have in common?
Limestone and sand stone are both sedimentary rocks, and marble is made out of limestone when heated . :) Hope that helped.
