Actually acid is not reacted with all type of the sedimentary rocks. Acid is only reacted with carbonate rocks and with those rocks which having the carbonate contents.
Every serious field geologist carries a small bottle of acid to perform this quick field test, used to distinguish the most common carbonate rocks, dolomite and limestone. A few drops of the acid are put on the rock, and limestone responds by fizzing vigorously. Dolomite fizzes only very slowly.
What else can I help you with?
Do all sedimentary rocks bubble in acid?
No. Only sedimentary rocks containing carbonate minerals will bubble with acid.
How does acid rain affect sedimentary rocks?
balls
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Do all sedimentary rocks bubble in acid?
No. Only sedimentary rocks containing carbonate minerals will bubble with acid.
How does acid rain affect sedimentary rocks?

What 3 rocks are most sensitive to acid rain?
metamorphic rocks sedimentary rocks and igneous
What the metamorphic rocks will form bubble when test with vinegar or acid?
marble
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
If acid is added to a piece of sandstone and it begins to bubble what mineral is likely to be found in the rock?
The bubbling reaction when acid is added to sandstone indicates the presence of the mineral calcite, which is sensitive to acids. Calcite is a common mineral found in sedimentary rocks like sandstone.
Name 2 characteristics of each of the sedimentary rocks?
they are made at the bottom of the sea and they react with acid.
