This is possible by chemical analysis.
Determining the calcium concentration in the limestone.
Calcium carbonate.
CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate)
Calcium oxide
No. Calcium carbonate and calcium acetate are two different compounds.
Determining the calcium concentration in the limestone.
The traditional test is to put a few drops of 5% hydrochloric acid on it; carbonate minerals produce bubbles of carbon dioxide. This doesn't specifically test for calcium carbonate. It could be magnesium carbonate or some other carbonate mineral instead. Making sure it's calcium requires more elaborate equipment such as a flame emission spectrometer.
The carbonate. Calcium is neutral.
Calcium Carbonate :)
- infrared spectrometry - the test with calcium hydroxide (calcium carbonate, white and insoluble in water, is formed)
Calcium carbonate.
Calcium Carbonate + Nitric acid ----> Calcium Nitrate + Water + Carbon dioxideCaCO3 + 2 HNO3 ----> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O + CO2
Calcium carbonate or calcium magnesium carbonate.
CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate)
What is the product of calcium carbonate
Calcium oxide
add hcl bubbles of co2 produced and flame test
