What is the chemical formula of chalk?
Chalk is CaCO3. The chemical name for chalk is calcium carbonate. It is a porous sedimentary rock, and is also a type of limestone. The White Cliffs of Dover are actually made from chalk.
What is the word equation for precipitation?
here is an example, if my rock is a metamorphic rock e.g. diamond and it is being weathered then the word equation is like so: C >> H20 = hydrochloric acid your welcome - maxim tolorado
What dilute acid is added to a sample of limestone the rock fizzes what chemical does the rock contain?
Dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used, and this fizzes due to the presence of calcium carbonate (CACO3) in limestone
What is an igneous rock composed of calcium carbonate?
Carbonatite is an igneous rock composed of more than 50% Calcium Carbonate.
What is the chemical composition of Lithographic limestone?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the minerals calcite and/or aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
What is travertine?
Travertine is a sedimentary rock. It is a natural chemical precipitate of carbonate minerals; typically Aragonite
What is a chemical equation that describe a chemical reaction that produces caverns in limestone?
Rainwater absorbs atmospheric CO2, becoming carbonic acid. This flows through the discontinuities in the rock from sink to rising, dissolving the calcium carbonate that is limestone's main constituent.

Chemical weathering would be most effective in what condition area?
Environments with large amounts of rainfall and carbonate rock.
What is calcite?
Calcite is a carbonate mineral with the chemical formula CaCO3, which is a major rock forming mineral, particularly of limestone.
What metamorphic rock will bubble when tested with vinegar?
Marble will fizz because of the chemical reaction with its calcium carbonate makeup.
As coal petroleum and calcium carbonate rock found?
'Marble' is meta-formosed limestone or chalk. Limestone or chalk has been subject to either heat and/or pressure, and become the harder shiny rock of marble. Marble is calcium carbonate!!!!
What is a common carbonate rock-forming mineral?
Calcium carbonate (known as calcite CaCO3) is a common carbonate rock-forming mineral.
What is an allochem?
An allochem is a grain of rock in a carbonate rock.
