What happens when Carbonates react with Acid?
they produce salt, water and carbon dioxie
8 of 19
What is Limestone damaged by?
Acid rain
9 of 19
How do we test for Carbon dioxide?
Limewater- it will turn cloudy
10 of 19
Whats the first step of the limestone reaction cycle?
Thermal decomposition of Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produces calcium oxide and carbon dioxide
11 of 19
What is the balanced symbol equation for the first step of the reaction cycle?
CaCO3 ----> CaO + CO2
