The most abundant carbonate is CaCO3, the earth crust is mostly consists of this carbonate but MgCO3, Al2(CO3)3, FeCO3 and other metallic carbonates are also important.

Compare and contrast the preparation of a salt from an alkali and a base?

Bases are substances that react with acids and neutralize them. They are usually metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates or metal hydrogen carbonates. Many bases are insoluble - they do not dissolve in water.If a base does dissolve in water, we call it an alkali.


Why Carbonate and sulphide ores are usually converted into oxides during the process of extraction?

It is easier to obtain a metal from its oxide as compared to its sulphides and carbonates. So the metal sulphides & carbonates must be converted to metal oxides to ease the extraction
