What effect does acid rain have on granite?

Answer 1

Carbonic acid, formed from rainwater and carbon dioxide, will react with calcium carbonate in limestone to form calcium bicarbonate. Since calcium bicarbonate is soluble in water, the limestone effectively gets weathered when carbonation occurs.

Answer 2

Limestone is one of a few minerals to seriously be effected by sulfurous acids.

Decrease in weight and structure from the release of magnesium salts is well noted.

Yellowing will first be noted while release and accumulation of salts takes longer. Over time, temperature and moisture cause structural weakening as the limestone becomes pocked and porous from the chemical destruction.

Answer 3

When carbonic acid is added to limestone, it will dissolve the limestone. This results to the creation of a buffer, which cancels out any negative effect the carbonic acid might have on the surrounding environment.

Answer 4

carbonic acid has huge range. so it can't be say

it may be weakest to strongest. in short it is flourine containing acid nd breaked sm hw by little basic character nd furthermore can react by nother high oxidizing molecule.

Answer 5

makes them go all pink and sparkly and makes then abso hawt

Answer 6

When this acid comes into contact with certain minerals, a chemical change called carbonation occur.

Metals turn into metal carbonates.

Answer 7

Yes, a possible reaction is:

CaCO3 + 2HCL = CaCl2 + CO2(g) + H2O

Answer 8

Carbonic acid dissolves limestone.
