What three tests can you use to distinguish halite from colorless calcite?
Halite is sodium chloride and calcite is calcium carbonate so there are several differences between them:halite is soluble in water, calcite is not.calcite fizzes if you put acid on it, halite doesn'tcalcite forms trigonal crystals whereas halite is cubic
What quick test could you to in order to determine which is halite and which is calcite?
Calcite is not soluble in water.
What are the uses of Flurite Halite Graphite Calcite and Quartz?
used in tanning
Halite and calcite form by precipitation Where would they most likely form?
At the bottom of the sea or ocean
What mineral has a hardness of 2.5-3?
Calcite is a mineral that is white or colorless and has a hardness of 2.5 and splits with cubic cleavage.
How can tell when minerals is calcite or halite?
Halite will be easily soluble in water, calcite won't. Calcite has excellent rhombohedral cleavage, halite has excellent cubic cleavage. Halite will taste salty, calcite won't.
