What do you get when powdered quartz and powdered limestone are soda are mixed?
This looks to me like a recipe for making glass (you would have to melt them).
How is cement formed from limestone?
cement is formed from limestone by combustion of limestone ( heating of the limestone)!
What types of bedrock are dissolved most easily by running water?
Limestone and Marble Limestone and Marble
How is limestone pavement formed?
limestone pavement is formed by leaving exposed limestone for ages
What is the difference between calcite and limestone?
I think you have it confused, dolomite and limestones are not the same thing:Limestone is composed of calcite or calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and dolostone is composed of dolomite or calcium magnesium carbonate, Ca,Mg(CO3).Okla gave the chemical formula for ankerite, which is in the dolomite group.In the field dolostone and limestone are difficult to tell apart (but there crystals are fairly diagnostic)...one way is to drop some HCl on them. Limestone will fizz (effervesce) and dolostone will not...UNLESS it is powdered...then it will fizz.Source(s):Manual of Mineralogy (after J.D. Dana), 19th ed., 1977, Hurlbut and Klein.Now it can happen and find them both combined in what it's called Dolomitic limestone, which is more or less 50/50 mixture of calcite and dolomite minerals.as for carboniferous limestone, limestone is a very abundant formation, it's not exclusive to one era or one location and it can be very variant from one place to another, you have to be more specific about where this carboniferous limestone is located!
Why is powdered limestone used in the chimneys at power stations?
to be mint

Processwhen powered limestone reacts with acid in lakes?
exothermic process takes place when powdered limestone reacts with acid in lakes.
What is the ideal solution for plants to grow in?
add some powdered limestone to the solution
Does paint contain limestone?
In paints, limestone is used as a filter extending expensive pigments. Limestone is calcium carbonate with the chemical formula of CaCO3.
Why do the neutralising effects of powdered limestone on soil last longer than that of slaked lime?
no
How can you turn limestone to cement?
Powdered limestone has to be heated with powdered clay to turn it into to cement. You can then use cement and powder it, then mix with water, sand crushed rock and a slow reaction takes place forming concrete. It is in the Cors Science GCSE
Why is powdered limestone sometimes deliberately added to lakes in countries like Norway and Sweden?
if the water is too acidic the limestone will react to help neutralize the acid.
What is the formula of whitewash?
Typically whitewash is powdered lime (lime as in limestone, not the green fruit!) mixed with water.
Why does powdered marble and powdered limestone have an identical reaction to hydrochloric acid?
Because chemically, both are mainly made from calcium carbonate.
Why is it safer to use powdered limestone instead of calcium hydroxide to neutralise acidic soil?
Because limestone is not dangerous when in contact with plants/animals etc. whereas I think calcium hydroxide is an irritant
