What makes rainwater able to dissolve carbonate rocks?
A compound called calcium hydrogencarbonate is the main cause of hard water. It forms when rain falls on limestone and chalk rocks. These rocks are made of calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in water. Because rain water contains carbon dioxide, dissolved from the air, this makes it acidic. The rain water reacts with the rocks to form calcium hydrogencarbonate which is soluble. This is the white solid that ends up in our kettles. An equation for the reaction is: water + carbon dioxide + calcium carbonate = calcium hydrogencarbonate H2O (l) + CO2 (g) + CaCO3 (s) = Ca(HCO3)2 (aq)
A mineralized shell?

How is carbon dioxide released into the air by carbonate rocks?
When acid rain reacts with the carbonate rocks, carbon dioxide is usually released into the air.
Where does alkalinity come from?
carbonate containing rocks
What makes marble result?
Carbonate rocks.
Are all rocks magnetic?
No. Mainly rocks with a high content of iron. Rocks such as silica or calcium carbonate are not.
