Carbonate rocks comprise between 10 to 15 percent of sedimentary rocks and are primarily comprised of two distinct types—limestones and dolostones.
Limestones are primarily composed of calcite while dolostones are primarily comprised of dolomite. Due to the fact that carbonate materials are typically soluble in waters with a slight acidic level, carbonates typically present good permeability and porosity. Consequently, carbonates are ideal petroleum reservoirs.

Does carbonates contain silicon?
Carbonates don't contain silicon.
What acids make carbonates?
The acid that makes carbonates is carbonic acid.
What reacts with carbonates a base or an acid?
As carbonates are mildly basic, anything acid will react with them (releasing carbon dioxide gas).
Is hydrochloric acid the only acid which reacts with carbonates?
No, any strong acid will react with carbonates.
What mineral group is malachite?
carbonates
What do all carbonates react with?
Carbonates react with hydrochloric acid.
Does carbonates contain silicon?
Carbonates don't contain silicon.
What acids make carbonates?
The acid that makes carbonates is carbonic acid.
Are metallic carbonates basic in nature?
Yes, metal carbonates are basic.
Are carbonates and halides silicate or non silicate?
carbonates and halides are non-silicates.
What reacts with carbonates a base or an acid?
As carbonates are mildly basic, anything acid will react with them (releasing carbon dioxide gas).
What is the solubility of carbonate salts?
Some carbonates are soluble (carbonates of alkali metals) and some carbonates are practically insoluble in water (calcium and magnesium carbonate etc.).
What mineral group are calcite dolomite and rhodochrosite in?
Calcite belongs to the carbonates.
Is hydrochloric acid the only acid which reacts with carbonates?
No, any strong acid will react with carbonates.
Are common carbonates soluble?
Carbonates are generally not very soluble in water, though their solubility increases considerably if the water is even slightly acidic. The alkali metal carbonates are soluble.
Why acids and carbonates are used in bakery items?

How can you use carbonic acid in a sentence?
The salts of carbonic acids are called bicarbonates (or hydrogen carbonates) and carbonates.
