More reactive than dolomitic limestone.
Limestone vs granite ph.
Limestone is calcareous contains calcium and is known for its ability to both harden the water and increase the ph.
In fact if someone asks how to raise water ph one method we suggest is to place crushed limestone coral oyster shell or any highly calcareous material in the filter.
Less reactive than calcitic limestone.
In the experiment you described if the limestone or granite weren t there the ph wouldn t change at all.
Pulverized lime is used in farming and horticulture to raise the ph level of soil to make it more alkaline for the healthy growth of certain types of plants.
Adjusts ph more slowly and to a lesser extent than calcitic limestone.
These stones are less dense than marble and granite so will also be more porous and require more sealer to prevent absorption of liquids.
Even though their chemical nature is almost similar to each other there are many differences between limestone and marble in the way they originate and the physical characteristics they possess.
Adjust ph more quickly and may raise the substrate ph higher than the same amount of dolomitic limestone.
5 2 composition 5 2 1 mineral content.
When a quality sealer is used the countertop will be affected by non ph balanced substances since the sealer sits just below the surface.
Limestone is not a good material to use in areas with acid rain however as the acid can pit and wear away the mineral surface.
Limestone vs marble.
Both limestone and marble are types of rock made of calcium carbonate residues.
