What is the common name for calcium carbonate?

Answer 1

The common name of Calcium carbonate may be Chalk, but chemically that's not true, if it is the blackboard writing chalk. This chalk is actually Calcium sulfate, which is mistaken as Calcium carbonate, as its manufacturing process uses Calcium carbonate.

So, I think the common name for chalk should be Limestone, which is the most common mineral form of this compound.

Answer 2

Calcium carbonate found in nature is a mineral called calcite, but we commonly call it 'Lime' or 'limestone.' Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) can take different forms: chalk and marble are both versions of the same compound, albeit in varying molecular structures. The chalk which is most commonly used to write on blackboards is NOT calcium carbonate, it is Calcium sulfate

Answer 3

Calcium carbonate is found naturally as the following minerals and rocks: * Aragonite * Calcite * Vaterite or (μ-CaCO3) * Chalk (Blackboard chalk iscalcium sulfate, CaSO4) * Limestone * Marble * Travertine

Answer 4

it has no common name because it's not common

Answer 5

and commonly known as CHALK for blackboards.
