The rock most likely produced by the metamorphism of gray limestone is marble. During the metamorphic process, the calcite in limestone recrystallizes under heat and pressure, resulting in the formation of marble, which is characterized by its interlocking crystalline structure and can exhibit a range of colors and patterns.
What else can I help you with?
What mass of carbon dioxide would be produced when 2.00g of limestone is heated?
The chemical formula for limestone is CaCO3. When heated, limestone decomposes to produce calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.09 g/mol. To calculate the mass of CO2 produced, you would first calculate the moles of CaCO3 in 2.00g, then use the stoichiometry from the balanced chemical equation to determine the moles and then mass of CO2 produced.
What would you find under Kaibab limestone if you were to drill a hole into the Kaibab limestone?
If you were to drill a hole into Kaibab limestone, you would likely find either Toroweap Formation or ancient sandstone layers beneath it. The Toroweap Formation usually underlies the Kaibab limestone in the Grand Canyon region.
Why can't limestone turn into slate?
Limestone is composed of the minute skeletal remains of sea creatures. Slate is the compressed mud and silt deposited on the sea floor. Both limestone and slate have been subjected to tremendous pressure and have become stone. Slate easily splits into sheets and can be used as a roofing material. Limestone can be used as a building material, and as hardcore in the construction and road making industries.
If limestone was crushed what would it do to the rate of reaction between an acid and the limestone?
Crushing limestone would increase the surface area available for the acid to react with, thus increasing the rate of reaction between the acid and the limestone. This is because more particles of limestone would be exposed, allowing for more frequent collisions with the acid molecules.
What chemical weathering process would a marble rock undergo?
Dissolution by water, especially water acidified by atmospheric carbon dioxide (producing carbonic acid) or soil acids. Marble is composed primarily of the mineral calcium carbonate, modified to crystalline form by metamorphism of the parent limestone. Therefore karst features can develop in marble just as they can in unaltered limestone.
Which two kinds of adjoining bedrock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism between them?
Sedimentary rock and igneous rock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism between them. When molten magma intrudes into the surrounding rock, the heat and fluids released can alter the mineral composition of the adjacent rocks, leading to contact metamorphism.
What is the parent rock of limestone?
Limestone doesn't normally have a parent rock. One exception to this may be a detrital limestone, whose parent rock would however also be limestone!
What would be the most likely next step for a rock on the surface of the earth in the rock cycle?
Metamorphism?
What is formed from the metamorphism of limestone?
My science teacher informed me on this very day the answer to the very question. I don't know if this is the answer to your exact question, but I believe it is close. Most people believe it is Granite, but it is not. The answer to your specific question is different. The real answer is actually marble. Think of it as a caterpillar. The caterpillar is the limestone, then the caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The butterfly would be the answer to your question.I hope that you have read this passage carefully, because if you just skimmed this, you may end up with a false answer. For if you read the entire passage, you will see what I am talking about
What waste is produced by extracting limestone?
Very little waste is produced during the extraction of limestone. Waste would include carbon monoxide and other pollutants from machinery exhaust, along with used tires.
Which two kinds of adjoining bedrock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism?
shale and sandstone
How long does it take to turn limestone into marble?
Marble is a metamorphic rock with a parent rock of limestone or dolostone and is formed by natural processes by heat and pressure. The heat may be derived by proximity to a magmatic intrusion or from depth of burial.
In which setting would regional metamorphism be most likely?
eight kilometers below the earth's surface
What mass of carbon dioxide would be produced when 2.00g of limestone is heated?
The chemical formula for limestone is CaCO3. When heated, limestone decomposes to produce calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.09 g/mol. To calculate the mass of CO2 produced, you would first calculate the moles of CaCO3 in 2.00g, then use the stoichiometry from the balanced chemical equation to determine the moles and then mass of CO2 produced.
What is the very hard sedimentary rock found in beds of limestone?
Most likely, it would be chert.
Which characteristic would most likely remain constant when a limestone is subjected to extensive abrasion?
Composition would remain constant.
Under great heat and pressure limestone can form marble What correctly describes this change in rock type?
Metamorphism. The heat and pressure can be from depth of burial or from regional metamorphic processes, such as those that would be due to plate collisions Because limestones (the parent rock of marble) are largely made up of one mineral, calcite, and calcite exhibits stability over a wide range of temperatures and pressures, metamorphism of limestone only causes the original calcite crystals to grow larger. Therefore, the limestone can change to marble either by contact metamorphic processes (from proximity to, or contact with, a molten intrusion into a limestone parent rock) or regional processes due to tectonic plate movements, or from depth of burial.
