Calcium carbonate reaction with acid rain
To illustrate the effect of ionic strength on degradation of calcium carbonate we have calculated the solubility of calcium carbonate in deionized water, acid at pH = 4.0 and acid rain at pH = 4.0 with an ionic strength of 7.2 x 10 in the absence of CO2. The results of these calculations are shown in Table 2 and are plotted in Figure 3.

How does calcium carbonate react with acid rain? – Heimduo
3.9/5 (1,232 Views. 30 Votes) Acids in acid rain promote the dissolution of calcium carbonate by reacting with the carbonate anion. This produces a solution of bicarbonate. The presence of limestone and other calcium carbonate rock in lakes and streams helps to maintain a constant pH because the minerals react with the excess acid.
