An example (reaction with hydrochloric acid);
CaCO3 + 2 HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

Which test is used to assess a mineral based on its reaction with a substance that may or may not produce carbon dioxide bubbles?
fizz test !
Which of the following tests is used to assess a mineral based on its reaction with a substance that may or may not produce carbon dioxide bubbles?
fizz test
What test is used to assess a mineral based on its reaction with a substance that may or may not produce carbon dioxide bubbles?
Carbon dioxide and water are produced when acids react with carbonate compounds. Therefore, if an acid reacts with a particular mineral and produces carbon dioxide, that mineral contains carbonate compounds.
Which mineral bubbles when it comes in contact with hydrochloric acid?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) , which goes by the mineral names of marble, limestone, or chalk. The reaction scheme is Hydrochloric Acid + Calcium Carbonate forms Calcium chloride , water and carbon dioxide ( which effervesces (bubbles)). The reaction equation is 2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) = CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
What happends when carbonate minerals come into contact with hydrochloric acid?
The mineral fizzes as it releases bubbles of carbon dioxide.
Chemical reaction that occurs when carbonic acid reacts with certain minerals?
the mineral fizzes and gas bubbles come out of it
Why bubbles appear when you open a bottle of soda but not when you open a bottle of mineral water?
Soda is carbonated; it contains carbonic acid which becomes carbon dioxide gas and turns into bubbles, when it is not under pressure. Some mineral water is also carbonated. Perrier, for example, does have bubbles, although to a lesser extent than a typical soda. But mineral water varies. Different springs have different kinds of mineral content.
Which mineral reacts readily with cool dilute hydrochloric acid to produce visible bubbles of carbon dioxide gas?
Quartz
What is used to detect calcium carbonate in minerals?
Acids. The resulting fizz of CO2 bubbles indicates a reaction with a carbonate mineral.
What mineral is colorless and powdered that form bubbles with acid?
halite because the molecules within it react with the acid causing a bubbling reaction also Calcite and Dolomite when it is powered
What makes a mineral fizz when we placed a few drops of vinegar on it?
This only happens with carbonate minerals. Vinegar contains acetic acid. When an acid reacts with a carbonate there is a substitution reaction that results in the formation of carbonic acid, which rapidly breaks down into water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide, being a gas, will produce bubbles.
What could cause a mineral to fizz when exposed to acid?
Commonly, released gas bubbles trapped in the mineral, typically seen when acid comes into contact with any calcium-bearing substance, such as limestone.
