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.
Can calcium carbonate neutralize an acid?
Yes. Calcium carbonate can neutralize acids, producing carbon dioxide and a calcium salt that corresponds to the acid.
What salt is formed in the reaction by calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid?
calcium chloride
What is the name of the salt that is formed by nitric acid and calcium carbonate?
This reaction will form calcium nitrate.
Which common salt is good for neutralizing acid rain?
Calcium Carbonate
Is calcium carbonate a carbohydrate fat or protein?
Calcium carbonate is none of these, it is a mineral salt.
Is limestone salt?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a salt.
Is calcium carbonate a metalic element?
Calcium carbonate is a salt - CaCO3.
What is the difference between calcium carbonate and calcium lactate?
Calcium carbonate is CaCO3. Calcium lactate is the salt of lactic acid and has the formula, C6H10CaO6
What is the formula of the carbonate salt found in Bufferin?
calcium carbonate- CaCO3
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
What chemical reagent in this experiment can be used to distinguish calcium chloride from solid calcium carbonate?
Calcium Chloride is CaCl2-------this is a salt Calcium Carbonate Is CaCo3------this is a base

What happened when soluble carbonate is passed through soluble calcium salt?
the precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is formed
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.
What are the minerals found in salt?
Calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate are found in bones .
