What is a chemical equation that describe a chemical reaction that produces caverns in limestone?

Rainwater absorbs atmospheric CO2, becoming carbonic acid.
This flows through the discontinuities in the rock from sink to rising, dissolving the calcium carbonate that is limestone's main constituent.

CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(aq) → Ca(HCO3)2(aq)
•As the liquid drips down the walls of the cave the saturated liquid reacts with the air in the cave to become a limestone formation.Ca(HCO3)2(aq) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(aq)

When limestone undergoes metamorphism it produces which metamorphic rock?
It produces marble.
What Sodium (Na) and water (H2O) undergo a chemical reaction that produces sodium hydroxide (NaOH and hydrogen gas (H2). Which equation represents this chemical reaction?
2Na+2H20->2Na0H+H2 ::::apex
What gas does acid rain on limestone produce?
It produces carbon dioxide.
What is h2 plus o2 plus equals h20?
The chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen produces water.
How can sodium hydrogen carbonate relieve a stomach with excess acid?
Sodium hydrogen carbonate is another name for sodium bicarbonate, which has the chemical formula NaHCO3. Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid that reacts with sodium bicarbonate in a chemical reaction to neutralize stomach acid. The chemical equation is HCl + NaHCO3 produces NaCl + CO2 + H2O.
Is it physical or chemical change when acid on limestone produces carbon dioxide gas?
It is a chemical change.
When Acid is placed into limestone and produces carbon dioxide gas is this a physical or a chemical change?
This is a chemical change.
How does the chemical equation show that a chemical reaction occurred?
When a compound produces.
When acid on limestone produces carbon dioxide gas what change is this?
This a chemical reaction.
What is located at the center of a chemical equation?
The arrow, which represents "produces" or "yields".
Why is it important never to change a subscription in a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation?
It is important never to change a subscript {note correct spelling} in a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation, because changing a subscript produces a formula that specifies a chemical substance different from the one in the original equation.
How does a chemical equation show that a chemical reaction has occurred?
A chemical equation shows that chemical reaction has occurred as new substances have been formed from the reagents. A chemical equation has two sides before reaction and after reaction, if there is any change from the before reaction side to the after reaction side, it indicates that a chemical reaction has just occurred.
Chemical equation to make iron phosphate?
Iron heated with lime water produces iron phosphate
When limestone undergoes metamorphism it produces which metamorphic rock?
It produces marble.
What is the equation for the chemical change that produces water from two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule?
2h2+o2=2h2o
Burning natural gas produces?
Natural gas is chemically known as methane, or CH4. The reaction of burning it produces the following chemical equation: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O.
Chemical equation for hydrogen to water vapor?
The chemical equation for hydrogen to water vapor is not possible as stated. In order for hydrogen to form water in any physical state, it must combine with oxygen. The following are the word equation and the chemical equation for hydrogen and oxygen combining to form water. Hydrogen gas plus oxygen gas produces water. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
