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 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 rock is the most affected by acid rain?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) easily react with acids.
What is the formula of the carbonate salt found in Bufferin?
calcium carbonate- CaCO3
Why does produce an carbon dioxide and water in calcium carbonate and acetic acid?
Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is a mild acid. However, it still displays acidic properties, one of them being... metal carbonate + acid ---> salt + water + carbon dioxide So when calcium carbonate is added to ethanoic acid, the following reaction occurs. CaCO3+2CH3COO-H+ ---> (CH3COO-)2Ca2++H2O+CO2
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.
Is calcium carbonate a salt base or acid?
Calcium carbonate is an alkali salt. Alkali salts are bases, and are formed from the neutralization reaction between a strong base and a weak acid. For example: Ca(OH)2 + H2CO3 --> CaCO3 + H2O strong base + weak acid ---> alkali salt + water
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 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 does calcium carbonate and acid make?
The calcium salt of the acid used and carbon dioxide.
What is the pH range of the resulting product from carbon dioxide and limewater?
Calcium hydroxide in limewater reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate (insoluble and hence the emergence of murkiness) and water. Calcium carbonate can be considered as the salt formed from the neutralization of a strong base, calcium hydroxide, and a weak acid, carbonic acid. The pH of the solution of such a salt will be basic because the conjugate base of the weak acid, carbonate, is weakly basic.
What salt is formed in the reaction by calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid?
calcium chloride
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
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.
Is sodium carbonate an acid base or salt?
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is a weak base
Is Na2CO3 a base acid or salt?
Sodium carbonate is a salt.
