その理由は次のとおりです。
* Carbonate rocks are made up of minerals like calcite and dolomite, which contain carbonate ions (CO3^2-).
* Acid (like hydrochloric acid, HCl) reacts with these carbonate ions to produce carbon dioxide gas (CO2), water (H2O), and a salt.
* This reaction is often visible as fizzing or bubbling as the carbon dioxide is released.
Examples of carbonate rocks:
* 石灰岩: Mostly composed of calcite.
* ドロマイト: Contains a mixture of calcite and dolomite.
* 大理石: A metamorphic rock formed from limestone.
重要な注意: While carbonate rocks are the most common type to react with acid, some other minerals can also react, but the reaction may be less obvious.
