How does acid rain affect limestone?
Rainwater is naturally slightly acidic because carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in it. Minerals in rocks may react with the rainwater, causing the rock to be weathered. Some types of rock are easily weathered by chemicals. For example, limestone and chalk are mostly calcium carbonate. When acidic rainwater falls on limestone or chalk, a chemical reaction happens. New, soluble, substances are formed in the reaction. These dissolve in the water, and then are washed away, weathering the rock. -BBC: The rock cycle

Why does rainwater weather away limestone buildings?
Because rainwater is mildly acidic. Acid in the rainwater dissolves the limestone.
Is rainwater a weak acid that dissolves limestone to form caves?
yes
What kind of carbon dissolves in rainwater?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common form of carbon that dissolves in rainwater. When CO2 from the atmosphere combines with rainwater, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is responsible for the mildly acidic nature of rain. This dissolved carbon in rainwater can then be utilized by plants for photosynthesis or can react with minerals in soil and water bodies.
What causes rainwater to be acidic?
Atmospheric sulfur dioxide that dissolves in it on its way down.
Which gas will cause rainwater to have a pH of 6.0?
A PH of 7 is neutral, a PH falling below this means that the water is acidic. Carbon dioxide and SO2 are common gases found in the air which, when when dissolved in rainwater, will cause it to become acidic and thus lower the PH.
Rainwater that dissolves carbon dioxide from the air as it falls forms acid?
carbonic acid
How a sink hole forms?
Rainwater containging carbon Dioxide dissolves underground rock
Why does limewater disslove in rainwater?
Limewater IS dissolved in water. Limestone dissolves in water because the mineral calcite it comprises of is soluble. This is why limestone dissolves in water.
What has a result of acid rain that can weather marble when it dissolves in rainwater and sinks into the soil?

What dissolves in rainwater and sinks into the soil the result is carbonic acids that can weather marble?
Carbon dioxide.
Has anyone ever found a limestone arrowhead?
I don't know but probably not 'cause limestone dissolves in rainwater
