Which rock weathers most rapidly when exposed to acid rain?
Limestone weathers most rapidly when exposed to acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content which reacts with acidic water to form soluble calcium bicarbonate, leading to its dissolution.
What weathers marble and limestone?
carbon dioxide: when it mixes with rain& water will create carbonic acid rain which weathers marble and limestone.so carbonic acid weathers marble and limestone.
What agent weathers marble and limestone?
this is the same question that was on my science homework ,as for the answer im not sure i think it's carbonic acid
What rock weathers most rapidly when exposed to acid rain?
Carbonates such as limestone react with acids and so are weathered very quickly. It doesn't need even to be polluted rain, as it reacts with even the carbonic acid present all the time in rain.
What substance in rainwater makes it so limestone weather easier than sandstone?
Carbon dioxide dissolved in rain water forms a weak acid which slowly weathers limestone, a carbonate which reacts with acids.
Acid precipitation chemically weathers a 5.0-kg limestone rock Whichh could be the result?
The acid precipitation will react with the calcium carbonate in the limestone, forming soluble calcium salts that will be carried away by the water runoff. This chemical weathering process will gradually erode the limestone rock, causing it to lose mass and potentially leading to the formation of limestone caves or sinkholes over time.
How does underground water cause chemical weathering of limestone?
Underground water containing dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with limestone to form carbonic acid. This weak acid chemically weathers the limestone, breaking it down into soluble materials such as calcium bicarbonate, which can be carried away in the water. Over time, this process can lead to the formation of caves, sinkholes, and other geological features.
How is limestone affected by acid rain?
limestone is affected by acid rain because the bhgdnhfhndhn
Is limestone included in acid rain?
Limestone is an alkaline compound and not included in acid rains.
Why do you think acid precipitation weathers rocks faster than normal precipitation?
Because there is acid in this precipitation than normal precipitation so it weathers the Rock alot faster because acid is very strong
How acid rain weathers rock?
It lands on the rocks and dissolves them.
What is the gas produced when limestone reacts with acid?
When limestone reacts with acid, Carbon Dioxide is produced.
