What is the chemical name of limestone?
Answer: C
Limestone is chemically calcium carbonate, \(CaCO_{3}\).
Limestone is a sedimentary rock made largely of calcium carbonate, often from the shells and skeletons of marine organisms. Chalk and marble are other forms of the same compound. Heating limestone gives quicklime (CaO) and carbon dioxide, which is the basis of the lime and cement industries; Madhya Pradesh has large limestone deposits around Katni, Satna and Rewa.
Sodium nitrate is Chile saltpetre, sodium sulphate is Glauber's salt (in its hydrated form), and ammonium chloride is sal ammoniac; none is limestone.
