Why is it not possible to use dilute sulfuric acid to make carbon dioxide from limestone in the laboratory?

This is because; when you react the two, limestone will form a protective layer around it, which will make it very hard for the acid to react with it. Therefore, it is very hard for this reaction to go to neutralization.

Chemical reaction between sulfuric acid and limestone?
Carbon Dioxide
How does sulfuric acid react with limestone?
if limestone is in a solid form it would degrade (hence a loss in mass of the limestone) and carbon dioxide would be given off. if it is in the powdered form the change in mass would not be very obvious and only a loss carbon dioxide would be seen.
What are some uses for sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide has many uses. It can be used:As araw material in making sulfuric acidTo preserve foodsIn winemakingAs a reactant in chemical reactionsAs a refrigerantAs a reagent and/or solvent in laboratory tests
Is cement a mixture of limestone and silicon dioxide?
obviously cement is a mix of limestone and silicon dioxide
How do you dissolve titanium dioxide?
You can't! It's not possible! It is possible to dissolve it. It is only soluble in hydrofluoric acid or very hot concentrated sulfuric acid, but it can be done.
Chemical reaction between sulfuric acid and limestone?

What effect does sulfur dioxide have on buildings?
Sulfur dioxide combines with oxygen and water to form acid rain Sulfuric and sulfurous acids). The acid can corrode metal and dissolve limestone, marble and cement.

What is the chemical formula for sulfuric dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is SO2
What pollution problem can badly affect limestone rocks?
Acid rain affects limestone used as building materials and sculpture. It is caused when rain falls through air that contains sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. In solution, these form sulfuric and nitric acid, which can chemically dissolve limestone (crystalline calcium carbonate), and marble as well.
What is the uses of sulfuric dioxide?
It is usually used to create sulfuric acid for industrial uses.
What do you get when you heat limestone?
Carbon Dioxide
What chemical causes limestone and marble to wear away?
It's the process that causes caves to form, and gargoyles to deteriorate from Europe's great cathedrals. Water that is slightly acidic will contain small amounts of carbonic and/or sulfuric acid. This reacts with the calcium carbonate that makes up limestone to release carbon dioxide.
What does limestone create?
it is limestone. it can be made from metamorphic and it is made from weathering it down.
