There is not pure oxygen in limestone, however any silica tetrahedrons in it contain 1 silicon and 4 oxygen molecules each. It is primarily comprised of CaCO3 - i.e., 3 Oxygens per Calcium Carbonate molecule. also known as mineral calcite.

What is the full cycle of limestone?

The limstone cycle: 1. Limstone (CaCO3) - Heat limestone to produce quicklime 2. Quicklime (CaO) - Add a few drops of water to produce slaked lime 3. Slake lime (Ca(OH)2(s)) - Add excess water to produce Limewater 4. Limewater (Ca(OH)3(aq) ) - Bubble CO2 gas into limewater to produce limestone This is called a cycle because it happens again and again...
