What else can I help you with?
Is gas produced when you add acid to chalk?
Yes, when an acid such as hydrochloric acid is added to chalk (calcium carbonate), it reacts to produce carbon dioxide gas, calcium chloride, and water. The carbon dioxide gas is the visible product of this reaction.
How can you tell if its an acid?
Add an alkali substance to it, such as chalk, if it is an acid it will "fizz" and release carbon dioxide. You could also test with Litmus Paper or Universal indicator.
Will citric acid dissolve chalk?
No, citric acid will not dissolve chalk. Chalk is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in citric acid. An acid like hydrochloric acid would be more effective in dissolving chalk.
Which acid or base is present in chalk powder?
Chalk is neutral.
Can acid rain dissolve chalk?
Yes, acid rain can dissolve chalk because chalk is made of calcium carbonate which reacts with acid to form calcium ions, carbon dioxide, and water. Over time, repeated exposure to acid rain can break down and dissolve chalk surfaces.
Is Chalk powder an acid or a base?
It is an acid acidic substance similair to that of citric acid found in lemons
Can chalk dissolve in Apple Juice?

Is chalk acid or alkali?
Alkali
Does chalk fizz when acid is put on it?
yes it does.
How do you separate a mixture of sand salt chalk dust and amp iron filings.?
First remove iron filings with a magnet. That leaves sand, salt and chalk dust. Add water which dissolves the salt, and filter leaving the sand and chalk dust on the filter paper. Put that back in water and add acid to dissolve the chalk dust (CaCO3) leaving the sand as a solid. Filter to obtain the sand. The chalk dust will now be in the acid as CO2 and H2O and the Ca salt of the acid.
Why does cola dissolve chalk?
Chalk is calcium carbonate. Cola is an acid. When these two compounds mixed, hydrogen carbonate is formed. This compound is water soluble, and thus chalk mixed with and acid like cola dissolves in water.
