What else can I help you with?
How can you tell if one of the minerals in a rock is calcite?
Hydrochloric Acid- Calcite will fizz.
How could you tell an older rock from a younger rock just by looking at their isochrons?
You could tell an older rock from a younger rock by looking at it because the older rock isochron would have a steeper slope.
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.
How do you tell if your pet rock is dead?
a rock is never alive
How can you tell whether a rock cliff beside a highway is made of igneous rock or sedimentry rock?
sedimentary rock is a multiple of layers
What is a sentence for acid?
We could tell the solution was an acid by reading the pH scale.

Tell why vinegar reacts much more slower with zinc and marble chips than hydrochloric acid?
Vinegar reacts more slowly with zinc and marble chips because it has a lower concentration of hydrogen ions compared to hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and dissociates completely in water to produce more hydrogen ions, leading to a faster reaction. Additionally, the presence of chloride ions in hydrochloric acid can also enhance the reaction rate.
How could you tell a rock is a living thing?
It is not so you cannot ever tell.
What happens when magnesium reacts with nitric acid?
When magnesium reacts with nitric acid, it undergoes a single displacement reaction where magnesium displaces hydrogen from the nitric acid, forming magnesium nitrate and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Mg + 2HNO3 → Mg(NO3)2 + H2. The magnesium nitrate formed is a soluble salt, while the hydrogen gas is released as a byproduct.
How could you tell water apart from acetic acid?
water doesn't burn
What is one way to tell weather rock is limestone?
Any acid (vinegar, lemon juice etc) will start to eat away the rock and it will fizz a little.
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.
How could dilute hydrochloric acid be used to tell Quartz site from marble?
Dilute hydrochloric acid can be used to distinguish quartz from marble by conducting a simple acid test. When a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid is applied to quartz, there will be no visible reaction since quartz is resistant to acid. On the other hand, if the acid is applied to marble, it will fizz or bubble due to the reaction with the calcium carbonate in the marble, indicating that the rock is marble.
How can you tell when as excess of hydrochloric acid has been added to the evaporating dish with the magnesium?
When excess hydrochloric acid has been added to an evaporating dish with magnesium, you will observe bubbling and fizzing as the magnesium reacts with the acid. Once all the magnesium has been consumed in the reaction, no more bubbles will be produced, indicating that excess acid is present.
What does the acid test tell you about a mineral?
The acid test is used to determine if a mineral contains carbonate minerals. When a mineral fizzes or reacts with acid, it indicates the presence of carbonate minerals such as calcite or dolomite. This test helps mineralogists identify and distinguish between different minerals.
