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.

Nothing happens. Gold will not react with sulfuric acid.


Does platinum react with sulfuric acid?

Platinum does not react with sulfuric acid under normal conditions.


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.


What metal causes no reaction when reacting with sulfuric acid?

There are several metals which do not react with sulfuric acid; once such metal is gold.


Is magnesium oxalate soluble in sulfuric acid?

Magnesium oxalate is insoluble in sulfuric acid. Magnesium oxalate will not dissolve in sulfuric acid as it does not have the necessary chemical properties to react with the acid and form a soluble compound.


What does boron react with sulphuric acid?

Boron does not react with sulfuric acid under normal conditions. Boron is relatively inert to sulfuric acid and does not readily form a reaction with it.


What does sulfuric acid do to limestone?

React with it. What you may see is 'fizzing', which is the liberation of carbon dioxide from the limestone. Limestone is an impure form of calcium carbonate(CaCO3) Like all acid/carbonate reactions, there is the liberation of carbon dioxide and water. Here is the balanced reaction equation. Sulphuric Acid + Calcium carbonate(lomestone) gives calcium sulphate + water + Carbon dioxide. H2SO4(aq) + CaCO3(s) = CaSO4(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) . NB Calcium carbonate exists in many forms ; viz: limestone, chalk, marble, egg shells, to name but a few.


Does boron reacts with sulphuric acid?

Crystalline/solid boron does not react at all with sulfuric acid. However, finely powered boron will react with sulfuric acid but very slowly.


Does CD react with sulfuric acid?

Cd or Cadmium will react with sulfuric acid to form a solution with presence of cadmium and hydrogen particles. The color may vary according to the process and usage of Cd and sulfuric acid.


Does iron sulphate react with sulphuric acid?

Iron sulfate (ferrous sulfate) does not react with sulfuric acid because it is already in the form of a salt with sulfuric acid - FeSO4. However, iron metal can react with sulfuric acid to form iron sulfate and hydrogen gas.
