No acid contains calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is its own compound that is a base, not an acid. However, the erosion and deposition of calcium carbonate in nature is heavily influenced by carbonic acid.
If the acid is strong enough, carbon dioxide is evolved as a gas and a salt corresponding to the cation of the carbonate and the anion of the acid is formed.
No, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the calcium salt of carbonic acid (H2CO3). If a compound has the name of a metal in it (sodium, calcium, copper, etc) it is generally not an acid but a salt. A salt is formed when a metal ion or other positive ion takes the place of hydrogen in an acid.
It is formic acid, the simplest carboxylic acid.
Sodium carbonate is generally considered an inorganic compound, even though it contains carbon.
Calcite, which is the compound calcium carbonate (CaCO3) forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide gas.
Chalk is calcium carbonate. Cola is an acid. When these two compounds mixed, hydrogen carbonate is formed. This compound is water soluble, and thus chalk mixed with and acid like cola dissolves in water.
You think probable to calcium carbonate.
Carbonic acid is a weak acid .This acid is used to carbonate beverages.
Calcite is the opaque compound calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It will dissolve in carbonic acid and will fizz in stronger acids. Quartz is the usually transparent compound silicon dioxide (SiO2). It will not dissolve in acid.
The acid test tells you whether it is a carbonate or not.
No. The carbonate ion is basic.
