The reaction is (supposing that the acid is H2SO4):
CaCO3 + H2SO4l = CaSO4 + H2O + CO2
The solubility of calcium carbonate in neutral water, at 25 0C, is very limited:
1,5 mg/100 mL.

Can granite dissolve slowly in acid water to form caves?
No, only limestone dissolves.
Does limestone rocks dissolve easily?
Limestone is chemically reactive with acids, and due to naturally acidic rain and acids picked up from the soil in groundwater, it is more susceptible than other common rocks to chemical weathering
What reacts with water to dissolve rocks such as marble and limestone?
I done know I a the one how ask the question
What is a substance in the air which made limestone change?
Limestone is basically calcium carbonate. *All* acids will slowly cause the surface of limestone to dissolve thus eroding the surface. The stronger the acid, the quicker the dissolution. Acids based on sulfur, such as sulfurous or sulfuric acids are very harmful to limestone.
Why lakes with limestone beds experience less adverse affects from acid rain than lakes with granite beds?
Limestone and marble (calcium carbonate) dissolve when in cntact with acid rain. Other building matrails like granite are not impacted by acid
How long does it take for limestone to dissolve?
it takes about 15 to 20 min to dissolve
What can rain water do to rocks like limestone?
Rain water can dissolve rocks like limestone.
Does carbonic acid dissolve limestone?
No. It dissolves limestone slowly. It may take centuries for a limestone outcrop to show visible weathering.
Why acid rain can dissolve stone?
Yes, particularly limestone.
Why there are large caves and tunnels where the main rock is limestone?
Limestone, CaCO3, is reactive with naturally acidic rainwater which helps dissolve it.
How is the effect of water of a sugar cube similar to groundwater eroding limestone?
sugar cubes dissolve faster than limestone
Can vinegar dissolve rocks?
Calcium acetate is reasonably soluble in water, so vinegar will dissolve limestone (calcium carbonate).
How do geologists test limestone?
they splash dilute acid on it. It will dissolve (very bubbly when it does)
Why most caves form by limestone?
because if they were made of soap they'd dissolve
What does groundwater naturally contain that allows it to dissolve limestone and caverns?
Carbonic Acid
What is the word that can make limestone rocks slowly dissolve away?
That would be erosion.
Why is Limestone is used to purify sugar?
To make it less acidic and to dissolve the impure substances.
