Limestone is basically Calcium Carbonate(CaCO3). The metal part(Calcium) is the reactive part in it.
It reacts with acids as well as bases.
For example, it reacts with Hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride whereas reacts with Ammonium hydroxide to form Calcium Hydroxide.

Rocks that react with hydocloric acid?
Limestone reacts violently with acids.
Does limestone react in hydrochloric acid?
The formula for limestone is CaCO3 and hydrocloric acid is HCL. Therefore they undergo a acid + metalcarbonate reaction. acid + metal carbonate -> salt +water + carbon di oxide. So when limestone reacts with HCl it prodcues salt (CaCl2) , water (H2O) and carbon di oxide (CO2(bubbles)). thus limestone reacts with HCl
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.
A substance produced when an acid reacts with a base is a?
salt. Answer is true
If a substance reacts with a metal to produce hydrogen gas what may you in infer about the substance?
You can infer that it is corrosive which means it can wear away.If a substance reacts with a metal to produce hydrogen gas, you may infer that the substance is corrosive.
What is the gas produced when limestone reacts with acid?
When limestone reacts with acid, Carbon Dioxide is produced.
What role does carbon dioxide play when breaking down limestone?
"In water it forms an acid which reacts with the limestone to produce a water-soluble substance."
What rocks reacts with an acid?
Limestone
Processwhen powered limestone reacts with acid in lakes?
exothermic process takes place when powdered limestone reacts with acid in lakes.
What is the process when powdered limestone reacts with the acid in the lake?

What is the name of the chemical in limestone that reacts with acid?
calcium carbonate
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.

What reacts with water to produce limestone caves?
Carbon dioxide dissolves in water forming carbonic acid H2CO3, a weak acid that slowly erodes the limestone.
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.
When acid rain falls on limestone it reacts and dissolves the limestone and changes it to a new subsTANCE?
Indeed it does. The reaction is between an acid (mostly Sulphuric, I believe) and also the limestone (Calcium Carbonate). This becomes chemistry when further developed: CaCO3 + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O Calcium Carbonate + Sulphuric Acid --> Calcium Sulphate + Carbon Dioxide + Water The reaction is a neutralisation reaction between an acid and a base, here a carbonate.
