Is limestone a metal or non-metal?
Neither. It is classified as a compound.
Is limestone a metallic or a nonmetallic mineral?
Limestone is not a metal, it is a type of rock.
What metal is limestone rock and in teeth?
Calcium
What is an example of a mineral resource?
Coal, metal ores, limestone.
A reactive metal whose compounds make up limestone?
Calcium is a reactive metal whose compounds make up limestone, chalk, cement and teeth. Drinking milk is one way to get this mineral.
What is limestone carved with?
with instruments for sculpture, even with softer metal instruments for stonecarving.
What was Alcatraz made into a prison?
Alcatraz is made of sandstone,rock,limestone and natural vegetation.
What metal that occurs in vast limestone deposits and combines with oxygen to form a oxide with a formula MO?
Calcium
Why it is unlikely that calcium chloride crystals are made from calcium metal?
It is unlikely that calcium chloride crystals are made from calcium metal because calcium is a rare and very expensive metal, also very susceptible of corrosion in normal air.It is much easier to start with limestone (CaCO3) and dissolve it with hydrochloric acid. Carbon dioxide is released and the excess of water should be evaporated after filtering of the undissolved particles of the limestone impurities.(CaCO3)s + (impurities of limestone)s + (HCl)l => (CaCl2)s + (CO2)g + (H2O)evap ++ [impurities of limestone]filter
Does limestone react in hydrochloric acid?
The formula for limestone is CaCO3 and hydrocloric acid is HCL. Therefore they undergo a acid + metalcarbonate reaction. acid + metal carbonate -> salt +water + carbon di oxide. So when limestone reacts with HCl it prodcues salt (CaCl2) , water (H2O) and carbon di oxide (CO2(bubbles)). thus limestone reacts with HCl
What metal has a carbonate found in nature called chalk?
Calcium is the metallic component of the substance limestone. Limestone, or calcium carbonate, is an example of a sedimentary rock.
How is cement formed from limestone?
cement is formed from limestone by combustion of limestone ( heating of the limestone)!
