Question

Which of the following rocks can be dissolved with a weak acid?

Answer 1

Rocks that can be dissolved with a weak acid typically contain calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The most common example of such a rock is limestone. Other rocks that can also be affected by weak acids include marble (which is also primarily composed of calcium carbonate) and some types of chalk. These rocks will react with weak acids like vinegar (acetic acid) or even carbonic acid (found in carbonated water), leading to a fizzing reaction due to the release of carbon dioxide gas.

If you have specific rock types in mind, please list them, and I can provide more targeted information!
