Calcium carbonate is an ionic salt, formed from the cationic calcium (II) and the anionic carbonate ion CO32-. It is found naturally in limestone and in seashells.
vCalcium carbonate reacts with acids, releasing carbon dioxide:

vCalcium carbonate will react with water that is saturated with carbon dioxide to form the soluble calcium bicarbonate.CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O → Ca(HCO3)2
This reaction is important in the erosion of carbonate rocks, forming caverns, and leads to hard water in many regions.
Water with a large amount of dissolved calcium is hard water.
No the chloride ion is a chlorine atom that has gained an electron and has a -1 charge. Because it is charged the chloride ion must be accompanied by a positive ion of some sort to balance the charge. Calcium chloride is a compound that contains chloride ions (Cl-) and calcium ions (Ca2+) and has the formula CaCl2
There is no elemental calcium in calcium oxide. Calcium oxide is a compound made up of calcium and oxygen atoms bonded together. When calcium oxide reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide, which contains calcium ions but not elemental calcium.
The word equation for the extraction of calcium from calcium oxide by electrolysis is: Calcium oxide (solid) -> Calcium (liquid) + Oxygen gas.
Diamond No its calcium.
calcium bicarbonate is the opposite of calcium, even though it has the same word on both words!
Calcium citrate is the calcium salt of citric acid .
Calcium carbonate (serves as supplement of calcium)
Calcium carbonate (Caltrate) should be taken with meals since it requires stomach acid to dissolve and absorb. Also, calcium carbonate has the most calcium per pill (40%), therefore you need to take fewer pills. In some people, calcium carbonate causes constipation. Calcium citrate (Citracal) can be absorbed on an empty stomach and is not as dependent on stomach acid for absorption. However, it has less calcium per pill (20%), so you have to take more pills. It does not cause constipation.
I use a very good supplement - Caltrate Plus - it has vitamin D plus minerals which the bones need; I have Osteoporosis - thinning of the bones through lose of calcium - I discovered that vitamin D is essential for the bones to absorb calcium better - the other mierals in Caltrate ,also enhance the body's absorption of this essential vitamin. We all need more calcium as we age - women in particular. Calcium on its own is not enough - the other vitamins & minerals are necessary for healthy bones. many supermarkets as well as chemists stock Caltrate Plus - the purple box.
Some of the companies that produce liquid calcium are Calcia, Just Bird Stuff, Caltrate, Sun Nutrition, Kirkman Labs, as well as Tetra Technologies Inc.
Yes, you can take caltrate D with simvastatin. There is no drug interaction.
it is when the bones healthyness i geuss you would call it, calcium or strength. there for the bone gets weaker or frigile. then that's when you need tlc! tender loving caltrate. !
Caltrate can actually be purchased at many different stores, as well as online. Some of these include Walgreens (in store and the website) and Amazon.

Yep!

Leg cramps can be a sign of low calcium (a common reason for charlie horses). Try drinking more milk or taking a supplement like Caltrate. Also, apply heat when you feel the cramps coming on. It may not be perfect, but it should give some relief.
