Calcite, Limestone, Chalk, Marble.
They are all geological forms of calcium carbonate.
Calcite
Dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used, and this fizzes due to the presence of calcium carbonate (CACO3) in limestone
The mineral fizzes as it releases bubbles of carbon dioxide.
Limestone is the most common one - dolomite is another
Calcite (CaCO3) fizzes when it comes into contact with hydrochloric acid.
The sandstone grains will not be affected, but the cementing material between grains could react with dilute hydrochloric acid if it is composed of calcite. Chances are, though, that the cementing material is silicate in nature, and therefore will not react with dilute hydrochloric acid.

It is most likely to contain the mineral calcite.

Chemical.
the mineral fizzes and gas bubbles come out of it
Calcite reacts to acid. The best thing to do to determine if a mineral is calcite is to place a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid on a sample. If the mineral fizzes and carbon dioxide bubbles are produced, the mineral is calcite. Place a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid on the mineral. If it fizzes and carbon dioxide bubbles are produced, the mineral is calcite.
Basalt doesn't react with acid. Igneous rocks in general rarely react with acid.
