What simple chemical test will distinguish chalk from white claystone?
Items made from Calcium Carbonate will fizz when a solution of dilute hydrochloric acid is placed on them. Ceramic items will not fizz when a solution of dilute hydrochloric acid is placed on them.
What is the differences between calcite and quartz?
Calcite is the opaque compound calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It will dissolve in carbonic acid and will fizz in stronger acids. Quartz is the usually transparent compound silicon dioxide (SiO2). It will not dissolve in acid.
What is Acid Fizz?
acid fizz is when an eliment reacts with a compound

What does carbonic acid do to certain kinds of rock?
it makes some (mainly calcite contained) rocks fizz up. hope that helps!
How can you test if limestone and marble are the same mineral?
Put a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid on both samples. Both will fizz indicating the presence of calcite.
What is Acid Fizz?

What substance will fizz when placed on a calcite mineral?
Calcite, which is the compound calcium carbonate (CaCO3) forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide gas. Here is the two step reaction with hydrochloric acid: 2HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3 H2CO3 --> CO2 + H2O
What happens when hydrochloric acid is placed on calcite?
It effervesces vigorously. [effervesces means to fizz or bubble] It reacts with strong acids, releasing carbon dioxide: CaCO3(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
