Why does rain react with limestone?

its kind of hard to explain. orignaly it dosent react with water (execpt from erosion) until it is made into calcium oxide using a blast furnace the new quick lime then is recated with water to form slaked lime which can be made into lime water by adding even more water. then there is another proces where slaked lime can be turned into limestone again and the whole cycle again. 1) calcium carobante + heat = quick lime + carbon doixide or CaCO3 + heat = CaO + C(O)2 2) quick lime + water = slaked lime CaO + (H)2O = Ca(OH)2
