How can you neutralise an acidic soil?
Calcium carbonate, shells
What chemical limestone form?
Calcium carbonate or calcium magnesium carbonate.
Why do greenhouse gas emissions harm creatures with shells made of calcium carbonate?
Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, making the oceans more acidic. This increases the solubility of calcium carbonate, making it more difficult to make shells.
What is the compound name for Ca2C?
Calcium Carbonate - also called limestone, calcite, chalk, and marble.
Is Haematite made from calcium carbonate?
Hematite is not made from calcium carbonate.
How can you neutralise an acidic soil?
Calcium carbonate, shells
How do you neutralise acid rain in soil?
Add a base/alkali such as calcium carbonate (limestone) to the soil which will neutralise the acidity.
Does calcium carbonate remove harmful emissions?
no.
How do fire service neutralise a acid?
One possibility is powdered calcium carbonate. Another is calcium hydroxide.
How is calcium carbonate used in coal fired power stations?
Limestone is used in a power station to neutralise the sulphur dioxide that is emitted. Carbon dioxide and carbon sulphate are both made!
Can calcium oxide be used to neutralise water polluted with acid rain?
No, you need Calcium Carbonate not Calcium Oxide to neutralize the acid.
How and why calcium carbonate is used to remove the acidic gases produced from coal- fired power stations?
Calcium carbonate easily react with acids and a neutralizing reaction occur.
How does calcium carbonate reduce harmful emissions from coal-fired power stations?
Coal contains sulphur and when this is burnt(heated) sulphur dioxide is produced, this is a greenhouse gas. To remove this greenhouse gas, this gas is passed a mechanism like a shower that is able to dissolve it and make it an acid. Then this acid sulphur is neutralized with calcium carbonate to form calcium sulphate, water and carbon dioxided
Why do people take tums or another antacid when they have heartburn?
Because the calcium carbonate in the antacids help neutralise the excess acid in the stomach which is causing the discomfort.
Is the carbonate or the calcium the buffer in calcium carbonate?
The carbonate. Calcium is neutral.
What is the IUPAC name for the compound CaCO3?
Calcium Carbonate :)
What is limestone calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate?
Calcium carbonate.
