Gohare Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock that is primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It is obtained from the accumulation of marine fossils, the precipitation of calcium carbonate in bodies of water, or the evaporation of seawater. Gohare  Limestone is known for its natural tranquility and beautiful colors, making it a popular choice in the construction industry and interior decorations.

The chemical properties of Limestone  are as follows:

  1. Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Here are the chemical properties of limestone:

    Acid Decomposition: Limestone undergoes decomposition in the presence of strong acids such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), liberating carbon dioxide (CO2).

    Basicity: Limestone is a basic substance and reacts with acids.

    Water Resistance: Limestone is relatively water-resistant and has a low reactivity with water.

    Thermal Stability: Limestone has high thermal stability and does not decompose at high temperatures.

    Structural Properties: Limestone has a porous structure, making it suitable for use as a construction material.
