Limestone is mainly composed of calcium carbonate. It will react with acids to produce carbon dioxide, a salt and water, and the limestone will slowly dissolve away - an experiment easily performed by pouring vinegar on a piece of limestone. In the outdoors: Acid rain (from industrial pollution mixing with falling rain) cause limestone to dissolve, increasing the natural effect of rain water erosion of rock - forming potholes, caverns - and clints and grykes (fissures) on 'limestone pavements'.

What happens when you mix limestone and sulfuric acid can you answer in detail?
You have calcium clorode
What happens when you mix limestone with acid?
They undergo a neutralization and produce a salt and water.
What happens when acid reacts with limestone?
If the acid is sufficiently strong, carbon dioxide gas will evolve and a calcium salt of the acid will be formed.
What happens to limestone when it is mixed with hydrochloric acid?
The reaction is: CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
What happens when you add sulfuric acid to water?
when mixed sulfuric acid with water in the presence of oxygen nothing happens but the acid turned from concentrated acid will turn into diluted acid.

it stays

The pH level will go up because of the acid in the limestone bedrock.

What is the problem when you add acid to limestone?
lime stone has lots of channels in it so the acid can get in them and break it apart so basically it degrades

A reaction occur, calcium sulfate is obtained.

What happens when you add acid to gravel?
The gravel shrivels up because of the acid.
What happens when you add sulfuric acid to water?
when mixed sulfuric acid with water in the presence of oxygen nothing happens but the acid turned from concentrated acid will turn into diluted acid.
How do you neutralise acid rain in soil?
Add a base/alkali such as calcium carbonate (limestone) to the soil which will neutralise the acidity.
