Calcium Hydroxide
4 of 17
Name three other carbonates that decompose in the same way as CaCO3
Sodium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate, Copper Carbonate
5 of 17
Why do some people not agree with quarrying limestone?
Air pollution (dust), visual pollution, damage to habitats of animals, traffic due to lorries
6 of 17
What is a disadvantage of using Limestone?
It is suseptable to damage via acid rain as it is reactive
