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

What can weathering and erosion do to landforms?
It can remove them.
How do you remove calcium carbonate from limestone floors?
Limestone is calcium carbonate. If you have a spill of calcium carbonate on the surface try brushing or polishing the floor.
Does burning fossil fuels remove carbon from the atmosphere?
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
What natural process remove carbon dioxide from the air?
Flowers, trees and all growing vegetation remove carbon dioxide from the air using photosynthesis.
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.
What is the purpose of limestone in the blast furnace?
The limestone decomposes to quicklime and carbon dioxide, and the quicklime removes acidic impurities (eg SiO2). So basically limestone is to remove impurities
What can weathering and erosion do to landforms?
It can remove them.
Why do people remove limestone from quarries?
Limestone is used as a building material and in chemical industry.
Why is limestone add to blast furnace?
To remove impurities
How do you remove mold on limestone basement walls?
You can remove mold on limestone basement walls by using mold remover. Bathroom cleaners and bleach also work well for this use.
What form of carbon do plants remove from the environment?
Plants remove Carbon Dioxide from the environment.
What is added to remove rocky waste and it forms molten slag?
Limestone
Do autotrophs remove carbon dioxide from the air?
do autotrophs remove carbon dioxide from the air
How does carbon remove from the carbon cycle?
Only by photosynthesis. Plants remove the Co2 for photosynthesis.
How do you remove calcium carbonate from limestone floors?
Limestone is calcium carbonate. If you have a spill of calcium carbonate on the surface try brushing or polishing the floor.
What raw materials are used in a blast furnace?
Iron ore or Haematite (Fe3O2), Carbon in the form of 'Coke', and Limestone (Calcium Carbonate 'CaCO3') are all used in the blast furnace. Iron Ore is melted down with coke, the coke burns heat into the furnace. Oxygen gas is blasted in from the sides. The carbon (C) and oxygen (O2) react to form carbon dioxide gas (CO2). At higher temperatures more carbon (C) is reacted with the carbon dioxide(CO2) to create carbon monoxide (2CO). The carbon monoxide 'steals' the oxygen from the iron oxide (Fe3O2), reducing the iron oxide to iron. Due to the impurities in the iron, it is called 'pig iron'. Limestone (CaCO3) is added to remove the impurities from the iron. The limestone (CaCO3) reacts with mainly silicate in the iron, and becomes calcium silicate (CaSiO3) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Calcium silicate is known as 'slag' and is used for construction.
What do plants remove from the air during photosynthesis?
Plants remove carbon dioxide during photosynthesis!
