Calcium hydroxide can be dissolved to create a saturated aqueous solution, which is sometimes referred to as limewater. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through the limewater, the carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid is first deprotonated to form a bicarbonate anion, which is then deprotonated once more to form the carbonate anion. The carbonate anion then reacts with a calcium cation to form calcium carbonate (the compound in limestone). Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water, and thus precipitates out. The formerly clear limewater solution has thus become cloudy, giving an indication that carbon dioxide is likely present. Reaction scheme is given below: CO2(g) + H2O --> H2CO3 H2CO3 + OH- --> HCO3-+ H2O HCO3- + OH- --> CO32- H2O CO32- + Ca2+ --> CaCO3(S) Note that if too much carbon dioxide is added or too little calcium hydroxide is used, then calcium bicarbonate will form instead of calcium carbonate. Calcium bicarbonate is water soluble, and thus will appear to produce a negative test.
When you first start to bubble carbon dioxide through limewater (calcium hydroxide solution), they react and form calcium carbonate. This isn't very soluble, so you see it as a mist of fine particles of chalk, which we describe as 'the limewater has gone cloudy/ milky'. As you continue to bubble, carbon dioxide dissolves in the water to form carbonic acid, which dissolves the calcium carbonate, so the milkiness disappears. Here are the reactions: Ca(OH)2 + CO2 --> CaCO3 + H2O forming the milkiness 2H2CO3 + CaCO3 --> Ca(HCO3)2 + H2O +CO2 removing the milkiness again This second reaction is the same one as for rainwater flowing over limestone rocks.
Here is an example of how it works using sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Na2CO3 + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O This reaction is actually a two-step process, first there is an acid-base reaction that produces carbonic acid. Na2CO3 + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + H2CO3 But carbonic acid is unstable, so it breaks down into water and carbon dioxide. H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2
Zinc (Zn) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce zinc chloride (ZnCl2), a salt and hydrogen gas (H2). Marble is primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) which is a salt, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide gas (CO2). The first test tube with water evolves carbon dioxide and the second test tube with zinc granules evolves hydrogen gas.
First of all, since Magnesium Carbonate is not Soluble in water you couldn't have a solution of these two salts in water. But if you had a mixture of the two in powdered form and need to separate them simply dissolve what you can in water, the part that wont dissolve is the magnesium carbonate and you could them filter it out and let the solution of sodium carbonate dry out and there you have the two separated.
First determine what the products are. You should find that one of the products is a gas. So, you can monitor this gas and see when it is stopped being produced (watch for bubbles).

Urea + Calcium hydroxide (from soda lime) → Calcium carbonate (precipitate) + Ammonia (NH3) + Water (H2O) Ammonia (NH3) + Calcium hydroxide (from soda lime) → Calcium Ammonium Carbonate (precipitate) The first step is the reaction of urea with soda lime to form calcium carbonate and ammonia. The second step is the reaction of the ammonia with soda lime to form calcium ammonium carbonate. ђՇՇקร://ฬฬฬ.๔เﻮเรՇ๏гє24.ς๏๓/гє๔เг/394659/ςץคภ๏ค๓คг
As soon as men has started digging the earth beneath his feet, he must have encountered at least some calcium carbonate (calcite)
Calcium metal is extremely soft and brittle but the mineral calcium carbonate is already a component in many bridges and has been for about three thousand years. Calcium carbonate is a component of concrete. The Romans were the first to use concrete.

chalk powder has calcium carbonate in it. calcium carbonate is a non soluble substance it is easier to filter it, dr Hussein moussa
materials made from calcium carbonate like cements materials made from calcium carbonate like cements
Calcium occurs most commonly in sedimentary rocks, but is also found in igneous (relating to fire) and metamorphic rocks, cheifly in silicate minerals. Calcium can be obtained by electrolyzing a mixture of lime and mercury, as was first discovered by Sir Humphry Davy in England, during 1808.
