Is limestone dissolved by carbonic acid chemical or mechanical?

The dissolution of limestone by carbonic acid is a chemical process. Carbonic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in limestone to form calcium bicarbonate, which is soluble in water. This chemical reaction causes the limestone to dissolve.


Does carbonic acid dissolve every mineral?

No, carbonic acid does not dissolve every mineral. It most commonly dissolves minerals like calcite, dolomite, and limestone, which are composed of calcium carbonate. Other minerals may or may not be soluble in carbonic acid depending on their chemical composition and stability.


Is carbonic acid an acid that forms caves?

Yes, carbonic acid (H2CO3) can dissolve limestone and other minerals in rocks to create caves over long periods of time through a process called carbonation. Carbonic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in limestone to form calcium bicarbonate, which is more soluble and leads to cave formation.


Is hcl a carbonic acid?

HCl is hydrochloric acid. Carbonic acid is H2CO3


What is the compound formula for carbonic acid?

Why does calcium carbonate does not react with carbonic acid?

Calcium carbonate does react with carbonic acid, forming soluble calcium bicarbonate. This reaction occurs in nature when rainwater reacts with limestone. The pH of the solution plays a role in determining the equilibrium of the reaction.


Is vinegar a carbonic acid?

No. Carbonic acid is H2CO3. Vinegar is acetic acid, CH3COOH.


Which is more soluble in water oxygen or carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than oxygen. Carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid in water, which increases its solubility. Oxygen is less soluble in water but is still able to dissolve to some extent.


What does HCO3 stand for?

Carbonic acid


What is the name for H2CO2?

"H2CO2 is known as "Carbonic acid". It is formed from a hydrogen ion (H+) and a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-)" This is wrong, H2CO2 is known as FORMIC acid H2CO3 is Carbonic Acid.


What are the adverse affects of excess carbonic acid in the human body?

Carbonic acid is a part of your body's exchange of oxygen and CO2. Carbonic acid will be lethal. See carbonic anhydase and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
