Pass the resulting gas through lime water, ( an aqueous solution of Ca(OH)2 ) and the clear lime water turns milky due to the formation of solid calcium carbonate.

How could you prove that carbon dioxide is produced when a metal carbonate is heated?

carbon dioxide is produced when a metal carbonate is meated which lets out all the flames of the cell's into the posturational motivation calastural system which means that it is not proven.


Does carbonate produce copper oxide when heated?

Carbonate by itself is an ion that does not contain copper and therefore could not produce copper if heated. However, because carbonate is a negatively charged ion, no substantial number of carbonate ions can exist stably except in association with an equal number of positively charged cations to neutralize the electrical charge of the carbonate ions. If these cations are cations of copper, then copper oxide can be produced by heating the copper carbonate salt.

What could you use to show that carbon dioxide is give off when calcium carbonate is heated?

Carbon dioxide makes lime water milky.


What test could you do to see if there is Sodium Carbonate Gas?

Sodium Carbonate is not a gas it is a solution. I think you mean how can you test for Carbon Dioxide - bubble it though limewater and you will get Sodium Carbonate.


What happens when lime water is added to copper carbonate?

If the carbonate is warm then it could cause a small explosion or shatter the tube it is in.


When limestone is heated it become sandstone?

No, limestone is a carbonate rock formed through chemical precipitation. Sandstone is a classification used for sedimentary rocks ranging in various sizes and compositions. Limestone is CaCO3 where as sandstones are usually quartz (SiO2) and feldspars.


Is magnesium carbonate and magnesium trisilicate the same med?

Magnesium carbonate and magnesium trisilicate are not the same chemically, but both of them could be effective antacids.


How does liquid behave when they are heated?

It depends on what temperature they are heated to, if hot enough they could boil. They can also evaporate.


What happens to most solids as they are heated?

They could reach their melting point and melt or they could char and react with the oxygen in the atmosphere. Some solids will ignite when heated.


Why did limestone deposits become common 1.8 billion years ago?

Limestone is made of calcium carbonate. Around 1.8 billion years ago the sea started to oxidize because cyanobacteria produced carbon dioxide. Calcium ions could be easily found because protists used them. Thus calcium carbonate was easy to make after the seas were oxidized
