  • Rocks That React with Acid: Limestone & Dolomite Explained
    The two rocks primarily composed of a mineral that bubbles with acid are:

    * Limestone: Composed primarily of the mineral calcite, which reacts with acid to produce carbon dioxide gas, causing the characteristic bubbling.

    * Dolomite: Composed primarily of the mineral dolomite, which also reacts with acid, albeit slightly slower than calcite.

    Therefore, both limestone and dolomite are rocks that exhibit this distinctive reaction with acid.
