Limestone is calcium carbonate and is basic in nature. When added to dilute acid, limestone will dissolve, forming the corresponding calcium salt, water and carbon dioxide.
Eg.
2HCl + CaCO3 ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
or
H2SO4 + CaCO3 ---> CaSO4 + H2O + CO2
Note:
this is infact one of the major problems of acid rains. When acid rain falls on monuments made up of marbles (which is also another form of calcium carbonate), these monuments fade away as the monuments dissolve slowly.

What happens when a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid is poured on a limestone rock?
It releases bubbles if carbon dioxide gas.
What happens when a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid poured on a limestone rock?
It releases bubbles if carbon dioxide gas.
What does dilute hydrochloric acid do to limestone?
when acid is on limestone to start with there would be a continues fizz. After time acid would were slowly chip and were away the rock.
What dilute acid is added to a sample of limestone the rock fizzes what chemical does the rock contain?
Dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used, and this fizzes due to the presence of calcium carbonate (CACO3) in limestone
Limestone chips dissolve after they are placed in a beaker of dilute acid. Which geologic process is this most similar to?
Weathering

How do geologists test limestone?
they splash dilute acid on it. It will dissolve (very bubbly when it does)
What happens when copper is reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
Copper does not react with dilute Sulphuric acid.

How can black chert be distinguished form black limestone?
If you have a small sample bottle of dilute hydrochloric acid, the limestone will fizz as it is calcium carbonate and will dissolve in the acid, releasing carbon dioxide gas. The same acid will not react with the inert silica of a black chert. Sometimes chert and limestone are finely inter-bedded and the acid will pick out the limestone bands!
What happened when a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid is poured on a limestone rock?

What happens when zinc is added to dilute sulfuric acid in a test tube?
nothing happens
What would happen to limestone if you added dilute hydrochloric and left for 30 mins?
When the hydrochloric acid is dropped on limestone it will start to bubble (which is carbon dioxide). After thirty minutes, there will be CaCl2 and water left on the limestone.
What happens when dilute sulphuric acid-is poured on copper plate?
Sulfuric acid react with copper.
