Because they are both made of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). This mineral reacts with the hydrocloric acid and causes it to fizz. All Calcium Carbonate minerals will react this way. Some must be scratched for the reaction to occur.

The metamorphic rock marble will dissolve in the presence of a weak acid Which rock probably was changed into marble by the addition of heat and pressure?
Limestone. P.S. I am on the same test right now xD
What do Chalk Marble and Limestone have in common?
they are both rocks but both formed different ways chalk is formed by dead sea creatures skeleltons build up to form chalk and limestone is formed by shells and very littke amounts of mud and sand
How acid rain affects buildings and statues made of limestone and marble?
A lot of buildings and statues are made of "basic" (alkaline) materials such as limestone. When an acid comes into contact with these materials it causes an exothermic reaction the dissolves the material and so erodes it.Acid rain erodes statues and buildings. It would have to be a very strong acid in order to break down metals, though.Acid Rain is defined as Acid fallening from the clouds in a rain like form. Acid Rain's effect on statues is immense, after a couple thousands of years the statue will finally decay. Although the decaying of the statues usaully starts off about at 1 inch a year, and finishes with decimationg the statue in no time.
Do all rocks react with rainwater at the same rate?
No. Rainwater is usually slightly acidic because of the carbon dioxide dissolved in it. Sometimes, it can be strongly acidic, if pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are dissolved in it. Both weakly and strongly acidic rainwater react with some rocks, but only ones that are alkaline. Chalk is almost pure calcium carbonate and reacts fairly quickly with rainwater. Other rocks that contain calcium carbonate include limestone and marble and these react a little more slowly. But some rocks, like sandstone, are actually acidic and don't react with rainwater (though they are still physically weathered by rain). Granite also doesn't react with rainwater and it physically weathers much more slowly.
What stays the same when a limestone cobble is subjected to extensive abrasion?
composition
Is marble the same as limestone?
Marble is made from 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

How can black chert be distinguished form black limestone?
If you have a small sample bottle of dilute hydrochloric acid, the limestone will fizz as it is calcium carbonate and will dissolve in the acid, releasing carbon dioxide gas. The same acid will not react with the inert silica of a black chert. Sometimes chert and limestone are finely inter-bedded and the acid will pick out the limestone bands!
How can you test if limestone and marble are the same mineral?
Put a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid on both samples. Both will fizz indicating the presence of calcite.
What are the minerals of marble?
Basically the same as in limestone (i.e. calcium carbonate and sometimes magnesium carbonate) but with water and other volatiles present in limestone squeezed out.
Why is marble more smooth than limestone even though they are almost the same?
"The main difference between limestone and marble is that limestone is a sedimentary rock, typically composed of calcium carbonate fossils, and marble is a metamorphic rock. Limestone forms when shells, sand, and mud are deposited at the bottom of oceans and lakes and over time solidify into rock. Marble forms when sedimentary limestone is heated and squeezed by natural rock-forming processes so that the grains recrystallize."

What reacts with an acid to form water and salt?
An acid is a proton donor (donates a hydrogen ion), whereas a base accepts the very same proton. For an acid to react there needs to be a base present, i.e. the acid forms a pair with the base, hence an acid-base reaction. Normally, the acid reacts with a water molecule (which as a matter of fact is an ampholyte, meaning water can react either as an acid or a base) that becomes protonated and is then called oxonium.

How does the type of rock affect weathering?
The Rock Composition really affects the rate of weathering because different types of rocks will react differently to water and other substances. If you pour water on flat marble and leave it, the water would usually leave a mark or a stain on marble depending on what color the marble is. If the marble is black, the stain would have a high chance of being gray. If you pour water on a slab of limestone, the water would have a high chance of just passing through. After a few times of pouring, the slab of limestone would have like an indent if all of the ours were in the same place.
If a limestone piece is dipped in water a bubble evolves Why?
Weak acid reacts with the limestone (calcium carbonate (CaCO3), to form hydrogen carbonate HCO3- ions (which is soluble in water). Therefore, acid rain has the same effect, and is the cause of pot holes and caverns in limestone areas.
