Marble is often crushed and used for acid neutralization in streams lakes and soils.

However sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have spalled peeled off in some places revealing crumbling stone beneath. Being composed of calcium carbonate marble will react in contact with many acids neutralizing the acid. Marble reaction with hydrochloric acid. First you measure out 25cm3 of hydrochloric acid 2.

This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite water and sulfuric acid. You then fill a bowl with water along with a boiling tube and straight after attach the delivery tube at the end of the boiling tube 4.
