Is calcium carbonate an acid or a base or a salt?
Calcium carbonate, like other carbonates, is alkaline.
Is calcium carbonate basic?
Yes. Calcium carbonate is a weak base.
Is calcium carbonate a salt base or acid?
Calcium carbonate is an alkali salt. Alkali salts are bases, and are formed from the neutralization reaction between a strong base and a weak acid. For example: Ca(OH)2 + H2CO3 --> CaCO3 + H2O strong base + weak acid ---> alkali salt + water
Is calcium Carbonate an acid or base?
It is a base.
How does bases effect calcium carbonate?
Because calcium carbonate is a base, depending on the pH of the base, it will either increase or decrease the pH of the calcium carbonate very slightly. It will probably have little to no noticeable effects.
Is calcium carbonate weak or strong?
Nonelectrolyte
Which acid is stronger magnesium or calcium carbonate?
They are not acids but slightly basic and calcium carbonate is the stronger base.
What chemical reagent in this experiment can be used to distinguish calcium chloride from solid calcium carbonate?
Calcium Chloride is CaCl2-------this is a salt Calcium Carbonate Is CaCo3------this is a base
Which type of acid has calcium carbonate?
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.
Is calcium carbonate a alkalis?
no, it's a base.
Calcium carbonate can be used as an antacid to treat excess stomach acidity What type of substance is calcium carbonate?
base.
What is the pH range of the resulting product from carbon dioxide and limewater?
Calcium hydroxide in limewater reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate (insoluble and hence the emergence of murkiness) and water. Calcium carbonate can be considered as the salt formed from the neutralization of a strong base, calcium hydroxide, and a weak acid, carbonic acid. The pH of the solution of such a salt will be basic because the conjugate base of the weak acid, carbonate, is weakly basic.
