Limestone is mainly composed of calcium carbonate. It will react with acids to produce carbon dioxide, a salt and water, and the limestone will slowly dissolve away - an experiment easily performed by pouring vinegar on a piece of limestone. In the outdoors: Acid rain (from industrial pollution mixing with falling rain) cause limestone to dissolve, increasing the natural effect of rain water erosion of rock - forming potholes, caverns - and clints and grykes (fissures) on 'limestone pavements'.

What happens when acid reacts with limestone?
When acid reacts with limestone, a chemical reaction occurs where the acid dissolves the calcium carbonate in the limestone, forming water, carbon dioxide, and a calcium salt. This reaction is known as neutralization and can result in the limestone dissolving or fizzing as the carbon dioxide gas is released.
What happens when a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid is poured on a limestone rock?
When hydrochloric acid is poured on limestone rock, a chemical reaction occurs where the acid dissolves the limestone, releasing carbon dioxide gas. This reaction forms calcium chloride and water as products. Over time, the limestone will be eroded by the acid.
What happens to limestone when you treat it with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Limestone reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas, water, and calcium chloride salt. This reaction is a chemical reaction that results in the dissolution and breakdown of the limestone into its constituent parts.
What happens when a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid poured on a limestone rock?
It releases bubbles if carbon dioxide gas.
What happens when you put acid on limestone?
The acid reacts with the limestone producing a salt and water and carbon dioxide gas which produces a "fizzing". Limestone is mainly calcium carbonate. CaCO3 + 2H+ -------> Ca2+ + H2O + CO2
What happens if you add limestone to acidic lakes?
it stays
What happens to a lakes PH when there is limestone rock in the lake?
The pH level will go up because of the acid in the limestone bedrock.

What is the problem when you add acid to limestone?
lime stone has lots of channels in it so the acid can get in them and break it apart so basically it degrades
What happens when sulfuric acid is poured onto limestone?
A reaction occur, calcium sulfate is obtained.
What happens to limestone when you treat it with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Limestone reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas, water, and calcium chloride salt. This reaction is a chemical reaction that results in the dissolution and breakdown of the limestone into its constituent parts.
What do you add to limestone to make it fizz?
Hydrochloric acid is used by geologists in the field to test if a rock is a carbonate and to ...
What happens when a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid poured on a limestone rock?
It releases bubbles if carbon dioxide gas.
What happens if you add a base an acid?
If you add the same quantity of an acid and a base it will become neutral.i.e forms salt and water

Is limestone included in acid rain?
