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

How does limestone react with acid rain?
it fizzes
What does Acid rain cause in rock?
If the rock is a limestone it will react with it chemically.
How long it takes for acid rain to react with calcium carbonate?
it takes about 36 years for the acid rain to react with calcium carbonate which include limestone and marble. HOPE this help!
Is limestone mostly affected by acid rain?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) easily react with acids.
What effect does acid rain have on limestone buildings?
when the sulfurous, sulfuric, or nitric acids in polluted air react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves.
Is limestone a rock that rusts?
only iron can rust. others 'corrode'. I don't think limestone rusts but it does react with acid rain. -------------------------------------- No limestone (calcium carbonate) can not rust. Hwever it can be stained by rust.
Acid rain corrodes a limestone building is it useful or harmful?
It is harmful because acid rain contains pollutants that can react with limestone, leading to erosion and degradation of the building's structure over time. The acid rain accelerates the natural weathering process of limestone, which can result in significant damage to the building.
What can rain water do to rocks like limestone?
Rain water can gradually dissolve limestone rocks through a process called carbonation, where carbon dioxide from the air combines with water to form a weak acid. Over time, this acid can react with the minerals in limestone, causing it to break down and form cracks and cavities.
What happens when you add an acid limestone?
Limestone is mainly composed of calcium carbonate. It will react with acids to produce carbon dioxide, a salt and water, and the limestone will slowly dissolve away - an experiment easily performed by pouring vinegar on a piece of limestone. In the outdoors: Acid rain (from industrial pollution mixing with falling rain) cause limestone to dissolve, increasing the natural effect of rain water erosion of rock - forming potholes, caverns - and clints and grykes (fissures) on 'limestone pavements'.
How is limestone affected by acid rain?
limestone is affected by acid rain because the bhgdnhfhndhn
Why is marble more prone to acid rain than limestone and chalk?
Marble is more prone to acid rain damage than limestone and chalk because marble is made of calcium carbonate but contains higher levels of impurities like iron that react with acid rain and cause greater deterioration. Limestone and chalk have fewer impurities and are more chemically stable, making them more resistant to acid rain.
Why is limestone a bad material to use with acid rain?
the limestone is very soft and will be dissolved in the acid rain
