it fizzes
Yes - and produces a calcium salt of the acid and carbon dioxide
Limestone for sure, dolomite mildly.
Any carbonate, such as limestone or dolomite.
If the limestone was crushed the reaction would speed up because the limestone would have a larger surface area available to react with the acid.
If the rock is a limestone it will react with it chemically.

Limestone reacts violently with acids.
The two rocks that are primarily composed of a mineral that bubbles with acid are limestone and marble.
No. It is a sedimentary rock. However, unlike sandstone which is also a sedimentary rock, it is primarily composed of calcium carbonate which can be eaten away by acid (like acid rain) gradually with time.
