How do you measure the amount of carbonate in a rock?
hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate ▬▬► calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
Which type of acid has calcium carbonate?
No acid contains calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is its own compound that is a base, not an acid. However, the erosion and deposition of calcium carbonate in nature is heavily influenced by carbonic acid.
How is Calcium carbonate used to neutralise acid emissions from power stations?
The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid as per any carbonate: Calcium Carbonate + Acid -> Calcium Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
Why does calcium carbonate react to acid rain?
sulfuric acid in the rain water reacts with calcium carbonate.
Why does calcium carbonate appears to get lighter when it reacts with acid?
Reacting with an acid calcium carbonate is transformed in another salt.
Can calcium carbonate neutralize an acid?
Yes. Calcium carbonate can neutralize acids, producing carbon dioxide and a calcium salt that corresponds to the acid.
Is calcium carbonate carbonic acid?
No, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the calcium salt of carbonic acid (H2CO3). If a compound has the name of a metal in it (sodium, calcium, copper, etc) it is generally not an acid but a salt. A salt is formed when a metal ion or other positive ion takes the place of hydrogen in an acid.
What does calcium carbonate do in rennie tablets?
Calcium carbonate is for neutralising the excess of acid in the stomach.
Calcium carbonate plus hydrochloric acid is i dont know plus water is?
calcium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid= Calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
What does sulphuric acid calcium carbonate make?
H2SO4 + CaCO3 ---> CaSO4 + H2O + CO2 Sulphuric acid reacts with calcium carbonate, forming calcium sulphate.
Is calcium carbonate a buffer?
Yes. Calcium carbonate is a salt and is formed from calcium reacting with carbonic acid. The salts of weak acids function as buffers. Carbonic acid is a weak acid.
What does calcium carbonate do in the body?
It can neutralize stomach acid (Heartburn)
