When calcium carbonate, or any carbonate is placed in acid, the carbonate ion (CO3^2-) accepts protons from the acid, forming carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is unstable and spontaneous breaks down into carbon dioxide gas (the cause of the bubbles) and water.

How much fizz does Calcium Chloride produce when mixed with Orange juice?
My guess is that it would not "fizz" at all.The Fizz that one often sees when mixing calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, etc with an acid is the releasing carbon dioxide CO2 from the Carbonate ion CO32-.Calcium Chloride is a salt. It will likely dissociate in the solution, but I doubt it will "fizz".If you mix Hydrochloric Acid with Calcium Carbonate you get:2HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2Where the Calcium Chloride is more likely kept in solution as Ca2+ + 2Cl-
Why does calcite fizz in acid?
Calcite, which is the compound calcium carbonate (CaCO3) forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide gas.
Which carbonate mineral reacts readily with cool dilute hydrochloric acid to produce visible bubbles of carbon dioxide gas?
Limestone, chalk and marble. They are all mineral forms of calcium carbonate.
Why bubbles come when you add vinegar and crushed chalk?
The reaction between Chalk and Vinegar creates carbon dioxide. Chalk is calcium carbonate and when vinegar is poured on it. It is prepared from water and acetic acid it should fizz up as the oxygen in the acetic acid combines with the calcium carbonate. The foams are carbon dioxide that is formed when the oxygen from the acetic acid links with the carbon from the calcium carbonate.
When carbonate minerals come into contact with hydrochloric acid they?
Fizz. Carbonate mineral are alkaline and these react with the acid to produce a chloride salt and Carbon dioxide gas.

What chemical test can be made to identify limestone?
Limestone will lightly fizz when vinegar is applied to the surface, from the reaction of the acid with the calcium carbonate in the stone.
What will fizz in contact with hydrochloric acid?
Magnesium Carbonate

Fizz. Carbonate mineral are alkaline and these react with the acid to produce a chloride salt and Carbon dioxide gas.
Why do limestone and marble react with acid in the same way?
Because they are both made of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). This mineral reacts with the hydrocloric acid and causes it to fizz. All Calcium Carbonate minerals will react this way. Some must be scratched for the reaction to occur.
What is used to detect calcium carbonate in minerals?
Acids. The resulting fizz of CO2 bubbles indicates a reaction with a carbonate mineral.
Why is there fizz when calcium carbonate is added to lemon juice?
I'm not sure, but it may be because the calcium carbonate is a base, and therefore it neutralises the citric acid in the lemon juice (which makes the lemon juice taste sour). The rapid release of CO2 (a product of the neutralisation)has caused the fizzing, and a salt (calcium citrate) is formed. It is often removed and added to sulphuric acid to make sweets.
Which mineral Fizz when dilute acid is dropped on them?
Some minerals give off carbon dioxide bubble when acid is dropped on them. Geologists have termed this as the "acid test".
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.
