Why do you use hydrochloric acid to separate calcium carbonate from sand but not sulphuric acid?

With sulfuric acid it forms the rather insolubleCa-sulfate (gypsum), with HCl the formed Ca-chloride is very soluble, which can easily be washed/filtered out of sand.

What does sulphuric acid calcium carbonate make?
H2SO4 + CaCO3 ---> CaSO4 + H2O + CO2 Sulphuric acid reacts with calcium carbonate, forming calcium sulphate.
What happens when you mix sulphuric acid with calcium hydroxide?
Calcium Carbonate
What gas does hydrochloric acid produce when mixed with calcium carbonate?
The gas released in the reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2 HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
What pH is calcium carbonate mixed wth hydrochloric acid?
Calcium carbonate is a base and hydrochloric acid is an acid but their combined pH depends on ther initial concentrations.
What salt is formed in the reaction by calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid?
calcium chloride
What acids react with calcium carbonate?
Hydrochloric, sulphuric, nitric, etc,etc. I don't know any that don't.

Calcium carbonate plus hydrochloric acid is i dont know plus water is?
calcium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid= Calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
What gas does hydrochloric acid produce when mixed with calcium carbonate?
The gas released in the reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2 HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
How do you measure the amount of carbonate in a rock?
hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate ▬▬► calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
What pH is calcium carbonate mixed wth hydrochloric acid?

What salt is formed in the reaction by calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid?
calcium chloride
Why sulphuric acid is not used in preparation of carbon dioxide from calcium carbonate?
The formed calcium sulfate obtained as a product cover calcium carbonate and stop the reaction.
What happens when calcium carbonate reacts with water?
At standard temperature and pressure, calcium carbonate does not react with neutral water, but simply dissolves to a slight extent. If the water is sufficiently acidic as a result of other constituents, carbon dioxide gas can be displaced from the calcium carbonate.
What happens when you mix calcium carbonate with sulphuric acid?
turns into calcium sulphate and carbon dioxide and salt
Calcium carbonate plus hydrochloric acid makes water and what else?
Calcium chloride, CaCl
