What happens if you heat limestone?

Limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which when heated to above 840°C decomposes into calcium oxide (CaO) while releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) according to the equation: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2


What happens if people are exposed to limestone?

Limestone, or calcium carbonate, is entirely harmless in solid form, and exposure will not affect people in any way. However, if you inhale limestone dust, it will irritate the lungs, as does any kind of dust.

What happens if you dilute acid with limestone?

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.
