Will chalk and water form a solution?

it is a suspension because; suspension = a solid and a liquid mixing which is what chalk dust and water is. :)


Will calcium carbonate damage pool water?

It will make the water cloudy. to remove calcium carbonate simply lower pH in the pool to 7.0 or lower and calcium carbonate will redissolve back into suspension and water will clear up. You can get this characteristic by adding sodium Carbonate too quickly.


Is limestone a solution?

No it is not. Limestone itself is not a solution. Limestone is a rock which is primarily calcium carbonate as are marble and chalk. Calcium carbonate will react with water if the water contains dissolved Carbon Dioxide (forming a mild carbonic acid) resulting in Calcium Bicarbonate which is soluble and does form solution in water.


How would a dry sample of sodium carbonate be obtained from a mixture of sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate?

Calcium carbonate is not soluble in water, sodium carbonate is soluble in water. Dissolve the mixture and filter: the Na2CO3 pass the filter as a solution and CaCO3 remain on the filter. Gently warm the solution to obtain crystallized sodium carbonate.


What is the Molarity of a solution made from dissolving 53.6grams of calcium carbonate in 0.94 liters of water?

It doesn't exist - calcium carbonate is limestone/marble - its insoluble


How do you differentiate between a sodium bicarbonate solution a calcium carbonate and one with both?

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is soluble in water; calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is practically insoluble in water.


How does the limestone cycle work?

Starts off as Calcium Carbonate , when heated the calcium carbonate becomes Calcium Oxide + Carbon Dioxide, the Calcium Oxide then reacts with water to produce Calcium Hydroxide and then when more water is added then filtered it becomes Calcium Hydroxide Solution, C02 is then added to form Calcium Carbonate again [:


How do you separate sodium chloride from calcium carbonate?

Dissolve the sodium chloride(which is actually salt) in water. Then, filter the calcium carbonate with the help of filter paper. Crystallize the solution of sodium chloride with water... Hope this helps! :)


What happen of mixed calcium chloride solution and sodium carbonate solution filtering and wash the residue with distilled water allow to dry adding hydrochloric acid?

Carbon dioxide gas is given out! Explanation: calcium carbonate precipitates from mixing calcium chloride solution and sodium carbonate solution, because it has low solubility in water. When it meets strong acid (HCl), it reacts to give out carbon dioxide while forming calcium chloride in the aqueous solution.


What sort of chemicals are calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate?

Calcium hydroxide is an ionically bonded compound that dissolves in water to form a strong alkali; calcium carbonate is an ionically bonded compound that dissolves in water to form a weakly alkaline solution.


What makes up calcium hydrogen carbonate?

The chemical formula of calcium hydrogen carbonate is Ca(HCO3)2; this compound (which contain calcium, carbon and hydrogen) exist only in water solution.


Does limestone and water made calcium carbonate?

No. Limestone is Calcium Carbonate. Limestone plus water makes wet calcium carbonate. With a very slight amount of calcium carbonate dissolving.
