Q

How is sedimentary rock formed?

Q

What are the positive effects of limestone quarrying?

A

More money in the local area

More job opportunities

It’s makes useful materials such as chemicals that make dyes, paints, and medicines.

Neutralises acidic soil.

Used in power Chimenys to neutralise sulfur dioxide as it is an alkali/base

Q

How can calcium hydroxide be used to test for CO2

A

Dissolve in water and bubble co2 through so the solution turns cloudy

17
Q

What do thermal decompositions of carbonates produce?

A

Carbon Dioxide

18
Q

Are any atoms or mass lost in reactions?

A

No there are the same number of atoms at each stage in a sealed reaction. The total mass before and after a sealed reaction is equal.
