1) Add a little hydrochloric to acid to a sample of the solid or solution you wish to test for carbonate ions
2) If effervescence is seen & the gas produced turns limewater milky white, the gas produced was carbon dioxide - this indicates that carbonate ions were present

Why would it be unlikely for a solid material to be made of pure carbonate ions?
Carbonate ions have a negative charge, and they therefore repel other carbonate ions (like charges repel, as described by Coulomb's Law). You can only have a group of carbonate ions in a material if that material also contains positively charged ions which will attract the negatively charged carbonate ions. Calcium carbonate is an example of such a material.
Would an aqueous solution of Ammonium Carbonate Contain Ions?
Yes. An aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate would consist of dissociated ammonium ions and carbonate ions.
Does rubidum carbonate compound have ionic bonds?
Yes, the bonds between rubidium ions and carbonate ions in rubidium carbonate are ionic bonds.
In the compound iron II carbonate the ratio of iron II ions to carbonate ions will be?
One to one
What compound will be formed between copper ion and carbonate ion?
Copper and carbonate ions form copper carbonate. In practice, copper carbonate usually contains hydroxide ions as well.
How many magnesium and carbonate ions are in a unit of magnesium carbonate?
The chemical formula of magnesium carbonate is Mg(CO3)2; this molecule contain one ion of magnesium and two ions of carbonate.
How many carbonate ions are in the formula for antimony III carbonate?
Well antimony carbonate if it exists would contain Sb3+ ions and CO32- ions-- to balance the charge the formula owuld be Sb2(CO3)3
Which compounds make up copper carbonate?
Copper(II) Carbonate (or Cupric Carbonate) is made up of Copper ions, and Carbonate ions. The coppers have a +2 charge, and carbonate has a -2 charge. The formula is Cu(II)CO3
What is Sodium carbonate made up of?
Sodium carbonate is an ionic compound with the formula Na2CO3. It is composed of sodium ions ( Na+) and carbonate ions (CO32-). The carbonate ion is in turn composed of carbon and oxygen.
What is a carbonate ions symbol?
CO32-
What are metal carbonates made up of?
metal ions and carbonate ions, CO32-.Fro example:-sodium carbonate Na2CO3, 2Na+ CO32-calcium carbonate, CaCO3, Ca2+ CO32-
Formula of carbon carbonate?
Carbon carbonate is not a possible compound, because carbonate ions (CO32-) only combine with postive metal ions and C does not exibit this property, being a NONmetal
