Is eggshell a mixture or a pure substance?
eggshell is a kind of compound CaCO3 (calcium carbonate)
What happens when calcium carbonate reacts with rainwater?
Calcium carbonate is practically insoluble in pure water; if the rain water is acid calcium carbonate may be dissolved.
Is calcium carbonate a compound or a mixture?
Calcium Carbonate is a compound as it contains 3 different elements (calcium, carbon and oxygen) that are chemically combined.
Is calcium a pure substance?
Yes. Calcium is an element, and it has the atomic number 20 and Ca is its chemical symbol. It is a metal, and one of the alkali earth metals which are the elements in Group 2 of the periodic table. It is reactive, and as such is not found free in nature, but always appears in compounds with other elements. Wikipedia has additional information, and a link is provided.
How many moles of CaCO3 is 73.4kg?
The formula mass of calcium carbonate, CaCO3 is 40.1 + 12.0 + 3(16.0) = 100.1Note that 73.4kg is equivalent to 73400g.Amount of CaCO3 = mass of pure sample/molar mass = 73400/100.1 = 733molThere are 733 moles of calcium carbonate in a 73.4kg pure sample.
Is eggshell a mixture or a pure substance?
eggshell is a kind of compound CaCO3 (calcium carbonate)
Is calcium carbonate an example of a pure substance?
Calcium carbonate can be obtained as an ultrapure chemical reagent.
What is calcium carbonate an example of?
pure substance...!
What happens when calcium carbonate reacts with rainwater?
Calcium carbonate is practically insoluble in pure water; if the rain water is acid calcium carbonate may be dissolved.
How much calcium is in chalk?
Chalk is almost pure Calcium Carbonate. Chalk is a form of Calcium.
Does graphite contain calcium carbonate?
No. Graphite is pure carbon.
What metal has a carbonate found in nature called chalk?
Calcium is the metallic component of the substance limestone. Limestone, or calcium carbonate, is an example of a sedimentary rock.
How many moles of calcium carbonate are in 1.719 grams?
Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 has formula mass of 40.1+12.0+3(16.0) = 100.1Amount of CaCO3 = 1.719/100.1 = 0.0172molThere are 0.0172 moles of calcium carbonate in a 1.719 gram pure sample.
Why is analytical grade calcium carbonate more expensive than laboratory grade?
Grades of purity apply to all substances, not just calcium carbonate. Laboratory grade is generally about 99.8% pure, analytical grade is specifically 99.9999% pure (aka 6 nines pure).

How can you tell the difference between diamonds and calcite?
calcite-is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCo3). diamond-is pure crystalline carbon(C).
