Marble chips are added during heating so that the solution or substance can boil evenly. Evenly boiling the solution will cause it not to have heating spots, which can cause an eruption of bubbles. Heating spots are caused when the heat being applied is only getting to the liquid at the bottom of the flask, causing the liquid down there to evaporate more quickly than the upper liquid. The liquid evaporating causes bubbles to shoot through the solution vigorously, disrupting the system. To avoid these heating spots, we add marble chips or boiling chips to induce a nice, even boil.

What is the scientific name for marble chips?
Calcium Carbonate
Why do you have to heat marble chips directly?
you don't you can heat them indirectly also, it will just take longer.
Why does a small marble go faster than a big marble?
the reason is that small marble chips has a lrger surface area than larger ones (there are more numbers of particles) which makes the collisions between the reactans more quicker and efficient.
Heat marble chips what happens?
It melts after an extensive amount of heat, otherwise nothing else similarly to other rocks.
What are the laboratory preparation of carbon dioxide?
In the laboratory, carbon dioxide is usually prepared by the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on marble chips.
How do you separate salt and marble chips?
First you mix both chalk and salt in water. From the solution that you get, you can filter the chalk out because it is non soluble in water. As for the salt, all there is to do is to just evaporate the water out.
What is the pH of marble chips?
pH is measured only in solutions or liquids. Marble chips has not a pH.
What is the function of boiling chips in the esterification reaction?
most of the carboxylic acids used during esterification are very volatile. boiling chips are added to maintain a smooth heating of the mixture and to prevent a voilent heating.
What is the pH of marble?
pH is measured only in solutions or liquids. Marble chips has not a pH.
The rate of reaction between hcl and marble chips?
it depends on amounts of marble and concentration of acid
What is the scientific name for marble chips?
Calcium Carbonate
Do marble chips absorb water?
No the water would drain around the chips. They would not absorb water.
What is the scientific name for small marble chips?
calcium carbonate :)
What will happen if acid reacts with marble?
Marble chips are calcium carbonate. If the hydrochloric acid is strong(concentrated), it acts upon the marble and corrodes it liberating
Can you grind marble chips using a peslte and mortar?
No, you cannot grind marble chips using a pestle and mortar. This tool is typically used for more kitchen applications then home repair.
What happens when you place marble chips in vinegar?
Marble is primarily made of calcium carbonate. Vinegar has acid in it. When the weak acid contacts the calcium carbonate, it gives off bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, and eventually will erode the surface of the marble chips.
How long does it take for coke to rot marble chips?
48 hours
