HSO4- What it is called as?

hydrogen sulfateHSO4- = bisulfate (old style) or the more modern and preferred "hydrogen sulfate".


Caverns form when rocks such as limestone are dissolved by a mixture of water and?

Limestone is made mostly of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate. Limestone is eroded by water as the calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate of the stone disolves into running water. Also a factor: other things dissolved in the water. Carbon Dioxide disassociates in water becoming carbonic acid. This means that the more Carbon Dioxide in the water, the more acidic it is. The more acidic the water, the faster erosion can occur. When acidic ground water packed with lots of carbon dioxide is saturated with minerals - dissolved limestone - and that water enters an air filled chamber, the amount of mineral it can hold can suddenly change. This causes excess mineral to come out of solution as the water drips off the ceiling and onto the floor below into structures called Speleothem. .Think rock Icicle.


What is the ionic compound name for Na2SO4?

This is sodium sulfate, or more properly sodium sulfate(VI).


What is the chemical composition of chalk?

Chalk is mostly calcium carbonate, with the formula CaCo3. It is formed from the crushed bodies of tiny sea creatures, which over eons collected as sediment on sea floors, was uplifted, then worn away by erosion and weathering. Chemically speaking, calcium carbonate is the union of the alkaline earth metal calcium and the polyatomic carbonate ion.


Which is more reactive calcium or xenon?

Calcium.

What is the scientific name for CuSO4?

copper sulfate - Cu is copper So4 is sulfur copper sulfate. as this state we can call it as amorphous copper sulfate. the liquid state of this is scientifically written as, CuSo4.5H2O. good luck! :)


What is the correct name for the compound Ca(HCO3)2?

Calcium oxide


How do you reduce soil acidity with naturally occurring minerals?

Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 (called slaked lime)Added:Even more 'naturally occurring' is Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 , which is the main component of shells of marine organisms, snails and eggshells. Calcium carbonate (commonly called limestone) is the active ingredient in agricultural lime as 'anti-acid'.

Trigger circuits are now commonly called flip-flops. I linked a page with more information.


What is the balanced equation for aluminum sulfate plus calcium hydroxide equals aluminum hydroxide plus calcium sulfate?

The chemical equation looks like this after you balance it. Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ca(OH)2 => 2Al(OH)3 + 3CaSO4


What happens when calcium oxide reacts with iron?

Iron will react with calcium oxide as iron is more reactive than calcium, therefore calcium (which is the more reactive metal) will displace calcium (the less reactive metal) to form a compound. This is called a displacement reaction.

What can the reactivity series be used to predict?

It can predict many things e.g. displacement reactions such as copper sulfate + Calcium → Calcium sulfate + Copper as the copper would've been displaced because calcium is more reactive, it also can predict how long it takes for a metal to corrode rust e.g. Gold is used for jewellery because it's shiny and beautiful and it has a very low reactivity. This means that many unreactive metals cost a lot. It can also predict many other things.
