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.
When sulfuric acid reacts with limestone, calcium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water are formed. The calcium sulfate is usually in the form of gypsum. The carbon dioxide is released as a gas, causing bubbling or fizzing.
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.
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.
When limestone (calcium carbonate) reacts with sulfuric acid, it undergoes a chemical reaction to produce calcium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water. The reaction between calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid is a neutralization reaction: CaCO3 + H2SO4 -> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O. This reaction is commonly used in industries such as agriculture to create gypsum, a soil conditioner.
Copper sulphate, carbon dioxide and water. CuCO3+H2SO4=CuSO4+CO2+H2O

When acid rain falls on a limestone statue, carbon dioxide gas is produced as a result of the reaction between the acid rain (which contains sulfuric acid or nitric acid) and the calcium carbonate in the limestone.

Buildings made from limestone are affected by sulfur compounds from burning fossil fuels because sulfur dioxide in the air reacts with limestone to form sulfuric acid. This acid causes the limestone to deteriorate by dissolving and weakening its structure through a process known as acid rain.
Sulfuric and nitric acid, mainly from industrial, vehicle, and coal fired electrical generating plants, and which is formed in the atmosphere and falls to earth in rain (extremely acidic rain). The acids reacts chemically with the calcium carbonate composing the limestone, dissolving it.
Sulfur dioxide is SO2
Acid rain affects limestone used as building materials and sculpture. It is caused when rain falls through air that contains sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. In solution, these form sulfuric and nitric acid, which can chemically dissolve limestone (crystalline calcium carbonate), and marble as well.
It is usually used to create sulfuric acid for industrial uses.
