Limestone is calcium carbonate. If you have a spill of calcium carbonate on the surface try brushing or polishing the floor.

Limestone weathering does not remove carbon di oxide from the atomospher.why not?
Limestone is made of Calcium Carbonate and is therefore a source of atmospheric Carbon dioxide when it weathers. CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2
How does limestone neutralise soil?
Limestone, aka calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with acid to forma calcium salt, water and carbon dioxide. This is how it can remove acid in soil. CaCO3 (s) + 2H+ (aq) --> Ca2+ (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
How does limestone remove sulphur dioxide?
The lime (CaO) reacts with SO2: 2CaO (s) + 2SO2 (g) + O2(g) .........> 2 CaSO4 (s) So the sulphur dioxide is removed and deposited as calcium sulphate.
Substance that will remove sulfur dioxide?
Basically, sulfur dioxide is a acidic gas. As acid reacts with alkali, carbonates and metals, all 3 are actually ideal to remove sulfur dioxide. However, in the context of removing sulfur dioxide due to air pollution, reacting sulfur dioxide with alkali and carbonate would be more appropriate. For example, removing sulfur dioxide with calcium carbonate would result in calcium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide.
Is there any formula CaHCO3?
The formula is not charge balanced. Meaning the Ca has a 2+ charge and the HCO3 has a net 1- charge. Thus, the formula is incorrect. If you remove the Hydrogen you make CO3 a 2- charged anion giving you CaHCO3 (Calcuim carbonate), or the Ca can bond with two HCO3 (hydrogen carbonate) anions to form Ca(HCO3)2 (Calcium bicarbonate)

Does calcium carbonate remove harmful emissions?
no.
How do you remove pure calcium carbonate from eggshell?
1. Removing of calcium carbonate: CaCO3 is dissolved in vinegar. 2. Obtaining of pure calcium carbonate: by heating of birds eggshells at moderate temperature, to destroy the proteic matrix.
Will calcium carbonate damage pool water?
It will make the water cloudy. to remove calcium carbonate simply lower pH in the pool to 7.0 or lower and calcium carbonate will redissolve back into suspension and water will clear up. You can get this characteristic by adding sodium Carbonate too quickly.
How and why calcium carbonate is used to remove the acidic gases produced from coal- fired power stations?
Calcium carbonate easily react with acids and a neutralizing reaction occur.
Is toilet cleaner acid or alkali?
Acid, to help remove calcium carbonate and rust deposits.
What examples are there where precipitation is used to remove unwanted ions?
Precipitation is used to remove unwanted ions most commonly in water softeners. Sodium carbonate is added to the water to precipitate calcium carbonate.
What Function do abrasives have in toothpaste?
most toothpastes contain an abrasive such as calcium carbonate to help remove the plaque
What is the old name for hydrochloric acid which is used to remove calcium carbonate deposits in toilets?
Muratic Acid

What reacts with lime stone?
These substances are acids.
What is the water softener in the water treatment used to remove?
Most water softeners remove calcium and limestone. These are not really harmful to humans, but cause a scaly build up in pipes and tanks.
