A tor is a type of rock outcrop formed by weathering, usually found on or near the summit of a hill. In the South West of England, where the term originated, it is also a word used for the hills themselves - particularly the high points of Dartmoor in DevonBodmin Moor in Cornwall. The word 'tor' is also used in southern Wales, particularly on the rocky Coastlines such as the Vale of Glamorgan and the Gower Peninsula; on the Gower one of the sandy beaches near Oxwich Bay is called "Tor Bay" because the beach is framed by a huge outcrop of carboniferous limestone.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate: CaCO3).
Thus you are comparing a land formation (what the land looks like) with a rock type that may be part of that land formation. This means that as you have worded ,your question can not be properly answered. However, I hope the definitions given above are of some help to you.
Tor in granite appears as a protrusion or outcrop of the rock, with its rugged surface showing a weathered and rough texture. The contrast between the tor and the surrounding granite may vary due to erosion and other natural processes, but generally, the tor will have a distinct shape and color within the granite landscape.

Most acids will not react with sulfates as the sulfate ion (SO42-) is a very weak base. However, a strong acid will react with a sulfate ion tor form a bisulfate ion (HSO4-). Here is an example with hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate. HCl + Na2SO4 --> NaCl + NaHSO4 The products are sodium chloride and sodium bisulfate.

A tor is typically composed of granite or other types of hard, igneous rock. These rocks are resistant to weathering and erosion, allowing them to form prominent, isolated outcrops. The distinctive shape of a tor is often a result of natural processes that have eroded the surrounding softer materials over time.
