Yes, people can eat basic magnesium carbonate gym chalk. It would be a good idea to be near a toilet when you do. Magnesium carbonate works as a laxative and antacid. While it is not advisable to eat chalk, in this case it can be done, it just should not be done because it can have impurities and harmful substances.
It is not it harmful to breathe magnesium carbonate gym chalk. However, one should be cautious so as not to breathe in excessive quantities.
Chalk is primarly calcium carbonate and/or magnesium carbonate.
Calcium Bicarbonate
Both would be magnesium carbonate (MgCO3), however there may be other substances in them beside magnesium carbonate.
Chalk is calcium carbonate, a salt, but it is mildly basic.
pure magnesium carbonate
I love magnesium carbonate (gym chalk) I eat it everyday for the last 2 years , each day I eat more and more and yes I'm not pregnant , it's just a craving I can't explain.
yes. chalk is calcium carbonate
Chalk is mostly calcium carbonate, with the formula CaCo3. It is formed from the crushed bodies of tiny sea creatures, which over eons collected as sediment on sea floors, was uplifted, then worn away by erosion and weathering. Chemically speaking, calcium carbonate is the union of the alkaline earth metal calcium and the polyatomic carbonate ion.
Chalk is a soft, white, porous sedimentary rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite which is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It forms under relatively deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite plates (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms. Chalk can also refer to other compounds including magnesium silicate and calcium sulfate.
Chalk is a form of calcium carbonate, so chalk dust is also a form of calcium carbonate.
Chalk is simply another form of Calcium Carbonate(CaCO3)
Chalk is CaCO3. The chemical name for chalk is calcium carbonate. It is a porous sedimentary rock, and is also a type of limestone. The White Cliffs of Dover are actually made from chalk.
