USES Calcium Carbonate is mostly used in the construction industry as a building material such as limestone, marble or chalk it can also be used as an ingredient of cement. Calcium carbonate in the form of chalk is used as filler in the paper industry. It is used as a cheap way to make bright opaque paper. Limestone is used in decorating and construction . The main use being its contribution to the making of mortar which is used in bonding bricks, concrete blocks, stones, and tiles. The limestone can also be used to make glass, it is added because it has a low water solubility. Limestone is used to collect any impurities that might be in the steel materials. Calcium Carbonate is found in many grocery store products such as backing powder, dry-mix dessert mixes, dough, plastic, and wine.

∙ 11y agocarbon is used in pencil lead and also if you are wearing a diamond ring that is also carbon. Also graphite powder is used as a lubricant. Carbon as a semiconducting material is used in electrical resistors, and spark plug wires. Carbon is added (in specific quantities) to steel to give it a desired hardness.

∙ 12y agoMany are used for detergents like bleach that neutralise the acidic conditions of the place due to them being carbonates. Carbonates are alkali or bases that react with acids to form a salt, water and carbon dioxide.
Other uses are in batteries and other appliances.

Are metallic carbonates basic in nature?
Yes, metal carbonates are basic.
What is the trend on production of carbon dioxide when metal carbonates react with HCl?
The carbonates of the metals in group I reacts easily.
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.
Scientist who uses reaction of carbonates and acids?
Organic chemist......
What gas is given off when metal carbonated react with acids?
carbon dioxide is released carbonates react with acids
Are metallic carbonates basic in nature?
Yes, metal carbonates are basic.
Is metal bicarbonate similar to metal carbonates?
stupididity lol hehe
Name a metal carbonate that does not decompose?
group 1 metal carbonates do not decompose
What is at the basis of most diseases?

The carbonates of the metals in group I reacts easily.
What is the group of substances that produce carbon dioxide gas when an acid is added?
Both metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates form carbon dioxide when mixed with acid.
Are common carbonates soluble?
Carbonates are generally not very soluble in water, though their solubility increases considerably if the water is even slightly acidic. The alkali metal carbonates are soluble.
The equation for metal carbonates and acid?
metal carbonate + acid --> salt + water + carbon dioxide
Will metal salts react with acids?
Yes; for example soluble carbonates.

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
