Dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used, and this fizzes due to the presence of calcium carbonate (CACO3) in limestone
Calcite, Limestone, Chalk, Marble. They are all geological forms of calcium carbonate.
chemical change
Limestone is the most common one - dolomite is another
It is a physical change.
Basalt doesn't react with acid. Igneous rocks in general rarely react with acid.
yes, it fizzes wth acid. trust me
It is most likely to contain the mineral calcite.
By using HCL, if it fizzes then it is limestone.

The rock that fizzes when applied to vinegar is MARBLE, you will have to grind it up into powder first though. Edited by Sjheerts: actually no it is not marble. it is something inside the marble. it is called calcite
limestone will begin to fizz and slowly breakdown. It shows the affects of eroision due to the chemical makeup of limestone.
