Mineral made up of a calcium compound and found in marble?
The mineral made up of a calcium compound and commonly found in marble is called calcite. Calcite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and is often the main component of marble, providing its characteristic white color.
What is the formula of the carbonate salt found in Bufferin?
calcium carbonate- CaCO3

What is the common name for calcium carbonate?
The common name of Calcium carbonate may be Chalk, but chemically that's not true, if it is the blackboard writing chalk. This chalk is actually Calcium sulfate, which is mistaken as Calcium carbonate, as its manufacturing process uses Calcium carbonate.So, I think the common name for chalk should be Limestone, which is the most common mineral form of this compound.
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.

What do Chalk Marble and Limestone have in common?
they are both rocks but both formed different ways chalk is formed by dead sea creatures skeleltons build up to form chalk and limestone is formed by shells and very littke amounts of mud and sand
What is the name of the formula CaCO3?
The name of the chemical formula CaCO3 is calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is commonly found in rocks and is created when ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to create limescale. The hardness of water is measures in ppm CaCO3.
