Powdered limestone is commonly referred to as lime, the result of crushing limestone rock.
When powdered quartz, powdered limestone, and soda (sodium carbonate) are mixed together, it forms a type of glass known as soda-lime-silica glass. This type of glass is commonly used in windows, bottles, and containers due to its durability and transparency.
A streak is the color of the powdered mineral left behind when the mineral is rubbed against a hard, rough surface. Limestone typically has a white streak due to its composition of calcium carbonate.
The main substance in limestone is calcium carbonate.
No, the limestone is not magnetic due to the magnetic fields in the stone itself.
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!

exothermic process takes place when powdered limestone reacts with acid in lakes.

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
Because chemically, both are mainly made from calcium carbonate.
Typically whitewash is powdered lime (lime as in limestone, not the green fruit!) mixed with water.
Powdered limestone is safer because it releases calcium and carbonate ions slowly, preventing a sudden increase in pH which can harm plants. Calcium hydroxide, on the other hand, can raise the pH too quickly, leading to potential toxicity in the soil. Additionally, powdered limestone is less likely to cause chemical burns or skin irritation compared to calcium hydroxide.
Powdered limestone is added to lakes in Norway and Sweden as a restoration technique to combat acidification caused by acid rain. Limestone acts as a buffer, neutralizing the acidity in the water and improving the pH levels to support aquatic life. This helps to restore the ecological balance of the lake and promote biodiversity.

In paints, limestone is used as a filter extending expensive pigments. Limestone is calcium carbonate with the chemical formula of CaCO3.
