What could happen if gold is placed in dilute hydrochloric acid?
Nothing, gold does not react with hydrochloric acid, if there are impurities of other metals in gold then impurities may react and form chloride salts.
Is dilute hydrochloric acid found in vinegar?
YES my science book says so it has components of salt and hydrochloric acid is found in both. your welcome...very,very welcome.Vinegar contain:Ethanoic Acid (syn.: acetic acid, with the chemical formula CH3COOH)no hydrochloric acid HCl !
What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a piece of sandstone?
The sandstone grains will not be affected, but the cementing material between grains could react with dilute hydrochloric acid if it is composed of calcite. Chances are, though, that the cementing material is silicate in nature, and therefore will not react with dilute hydrochloric acid.
How much hydrochloric acid could kill you?
a lot
Why does the reaction stop between magnesium and hydrochloric acid?
It could stop because there wasn't enough magnesium or hydrochloric acid for the reaction to go to completion.
How could you differentiate between marble and white quartz?
Marble will effervesce in vinegar or diluted hydrochloric acid--quartzite will not. Both quartzite and marble are meta-sedimentary rocks. However, quartzite comes from a quartz rich sandstone, and marble comes from limestone.White marble is white limestone that has gone through metamorphosis.White Quartzite is white sandstone that has gone through metamorphosis.
What test could you perform to tell a quartzite rock from a marble rock?
One would be a scratch test. The quartzite is much harder than the marble. Another test would be the use of dilute hydrochloric acid, which will cause decomposition of the calcite minerals forming the marble.

What minerals would be least immune to chemical weathering limestone quartz marble and granite?
The answer is marble because it is like glass and if there were a piece on the ground it could be easily broken but if there were a tornado the tornado couldnt break it. Marble is very fragile.
Is a solution dangerous in the lab?
It depends entirely on the solution. Sugar solution for example could be drunk!. Dilute Hydrochloric Acid solution would be poisonous.
How can you check if a rock is calcite?
Calcite reacts to acid. The best thing to do to determine if a mineral is calcite is to place a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid on a sample. If the mineral fizzes and carbon dioxide bubbles are produced, the mineral is calcite. Place a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid on the mineral. If it fizzes and carbon dioxide bubbles are produced, the mineral is calcite.

Could quartz be considered a mineral?
Quartz is a mineral.
How could you tell if an unkown substance is sodium chloride or calcium carbonate?
Add dilute hydrochloric acid to both. There will be no reaction with the sodium chloride but the calcium chloride will effervesce and give off carbon dioxide which will turn lime-water milky.
How the mineral quartz could be in an igneous and in sedimentary rock?
quartz is a basic mineral and can be in any type of rock
Could a one inch marble go faster than a half inch marble?
yes. the one-inch diameter marble could go faster than the other because it is heavier.
