Is limestone made from precipitated calcite a chemical rock?
limestone is mostly seashells
How does calcite form?
Calcite is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks, limestone in particular, much of which is formed from the shells of dead marine organisms. Approximately 10% of sedimentary rock is limestone.
Calcite is a compound made up of?
Limestone is composed of the mineral calcite, with other minerals in trace amounts.CaCO3.Limestone can also be composed from another two carbonates, dolomite and aragonite.If you expose limestone, or any of the minerals on their own to dilute HCl, you will notice its effervescence (in dolomites, it might not be as obvious, sometimes you need to grind it into a powder to notice), typical of carbonates and the rocks which they make up.Aragonite limestones aren't as common, but can also make up limestones. It's often confused with calcite, especially when it's not well crystallized. Of course, calcite is a polymorph of aragonite, so it makes sense that the two can form limestone.So, limestone can be composed of calcite, dolomite, or aragonite.
What is the most abundant carbonate rock?
Limestone, made up of the mineral calcite is the most abundant carbonated rock.
What is limestone a form of?
The fine-grained sedimentary rock, limestone is mostly made up of calcite. Most limestones are formed in oceans, and sometimes from seashells. Some may be formed in lakes. Limestone is a form of sedimentary rock.
Is limestone made from precipitated calcite a chemical rock?
limestone is mostly seashells
Is limestone made up of fragments of granitic and andesitic rocks?
No. Limestone is formed from precipitated calcite or from the shells or skeletal remains of marine organisms.
Limestone is made from?
It is mostly calcite.
What is limestone made out of?
Limestone is made of the shells of dead ocean organisms. Their shells are made of calcite.Hope i helped1 :)
What is chemical limestone made of?
Chemical limestone can form when calcite is dissolved.
Is limestone from shells chemical organic or clastic?
Limestone made from shells would be an organic sedimentary rock.
Is lime stone made water?
Limestone is composed chiefly of calcite
What rock is composed by mineral calcite?
Gabro is made of calcite and sometimes seashells. sorry if this is not right but i only went on to get the answer.!.
What are the elements found in limestone?
Usually calcium carbonate in the form of calcite and or aragonite. There may also be clastic material (such as sand and silt grains) and fossilised shell fragments. Limestone also commonly contains the magnesium carbonate mineral dolomite - CaMg(CO3)2 to some extent.
What is chalk?
chalk is a very pure form of limestone made of calcite. i think >:P

Is limestone homo or hetero?
Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up primarily of the mineral calcite, which is a homogeneous substance. Therefore, limestone is considered a homogeneous material.
