What is a good chemical test to determine the primary mineral in limestone?
A good chemical test to determine the primary mineral in limestone is the acid reaction test. Limestone primarily consists of the mineral calcite, which reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce bubbles of carbon dioxide gas. This effervescence confirms the presence of calcite as the primary mineral in limestone.
