Marble Temperature Effects

If the marble has any impurities which is likely other minerals may have other reactions at different temperatures.

Marble temperature effects.

Marble is a very dense hard stone and this makes it easier for heat to transfer from a warmer object such as the soles of your feet. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive. I predict the higher the temperature the faster the reaction rate. In the early stages of marble formation prior to its crystallization magmatic processes that affect limestone burn at extremely high temperatures between 600 and 1 200 degrees celsius which means minerals are in liquid form and will later solidify into marble.

The forces of nature may produce a decaying effect on the look and structural reliability of marble. These agents include temperature snow rain wind and atmospheric pollutants. In exposed areas of buildings and statues we see roughened surfaces removal of material and loss of carved details. For marble tables and countertops this is typically not a major problem as moisture inside the stone is able to evaporate from all sides.

The reason that marble feels cold is because it conducts heat differently than other surfaces. To this end one control and three different types of mixes are prepared and exposed to high temperature with 300oc 600oc and 900oc for one hour at. Rain water particularly in. This is due to the kinetic theory.

Concrete will absorb water and crack at this temperature. Weathering agents normally act in combination with the other agents to increase the deterioration of marble. In this study the effects of high temperatures on physical on mechanical properties of self compacting lightweight concretes with marble powder are investigated. The heat will then dissipate through the marble quickly so the marble doesn t feel any warmer.

In this experiment i am going to see if temperature affects the reaction rate between marble chips and hydrochloric acid by timing the release of carbon dioxide in the reaction. When sulfurous sulfuric and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone the calcite dissolves. Pure marble being caco3 at standard atmospheric pressure will convert to lime cao and give off co2 at about 1500 c. The more heat that is given to matter the faster the particles.

Weather effects on marble. Marble is a dense rock and with no water absorption capabilities cold air shouldn t bother it. You may consider applying a sealer to the top surface only of a table or countertop allowing the bottom surface to breath well to keep rainwater standing on the surface from absorbing which will eliminate the major cause of cracking etc. It will not harm it at all.
