This is a very simple question that has a rather complicated answer. Marble is typically more than 95% calcium carbonate, perhaps even 99% calcium carbonate, and calcium carbonate is a compound. Many of the "fine chemicals" that you would find in jars in your school laboratory would have a similar purity to a good quality marble. So marble has a good claim to be recognised as a compound.
However, if you look at a piece of marble, it has numerous very pretty stripes and blotches -- often known as "marbling" even. Clearly marble is not a homogeneous material. The small amount of various impurities in marble produce its very pretty appearance. So marble must also be recognised as a mixture.

Is chocolate shake an element or a compound or a mixture?
It's an element. An element is a substance entirely consisting of one element on the periodic table like a gold ring or the oxygen in a oxygen tank. A compound is a substance that consists of chemicly bonded elements like water (H2O) or salt (NaCl). A Mixture is just a mix of various compounds and elements without a chemical bond. Examples of this are coins. Chocolate Shakes however are elements, and are number 55 on the periodic table with the symbol of Cs. I hope this answered your question. =)
Are potato chips a compound mixture or element?
Potato chips, and other foods, are mixtures of compounds. Foods are made of a large variety of molecules composing the sugars, starches, salts, and liquids in them. The elements are there, of course, combining to make up the molecules, but foods are not simple elemental substances.
What is the pH of marble chips?
pH is measured only in solutions or liquids. Marble chips has not a pH.
What is the formula of the bubbles produce from the reaction of an acid with marble chip?
Calcium carbonate is the name of the bubbles that are produced from the reaction of an acid with marble chips. This is an alkaline compound, and doesn't look different than foam or bubbles.
How could you separate a mixture of rice and marbles?
If we're talking about normal rice-sized rice and standard glass marbles, it's not much of a problem; it would be like separating horses from cats. So let's suppose the "marbles" are chips of metamorphic limestone, cunningly carved to resemble grains of rice. 1. Since rice is less dense that marble, we could irrigate (flush with water) the rice-marble mixture. At some velocity, the rice would be washed away while the marble would remain. 2. We could just a stream of air the same way. 3. We could expose the mixture to a colony of ants, who would carry away the rice and leave the marble.
