Gypsum (also known as CaSO3) and Hydrochloric acid (also known as muriatic acid) creates the following reaction:
CaSO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + SO2
You should see the CaSO3 dissolve in the HCl assuming the HCl is strong enough in molarity or % concentration.
Try it at home with some simple sidewalk chalk (the most common form of Gypsum) and HCl. Let it react and then boil away the water and sulfur dioxide to gain calcium chloride, a substance commonly used in home cheese making.

Does quartz fizz in hydrochloric acid?
no
What is the reaction of cement with hydrochloric acid?
a big fizz
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.
How do you test hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal?
you put the hydrochloric acid in a test tube then you put the magnesium metal in the test tube with the hydrochloric acid in it then you put a cork on the top ofthe test tube and watch it fizz.
What does dilute hydrochloric acid do to limestone?
when acid is on limestone to start with there would be a continues fizz. After time acid would were slowly chip and were away the rock.
What make soluble in water will fizz when hydrochloric acid is added?
is soluble in water and will fizz when hydrochloric acid is added
Does quartz fizz in hydrochloric acid?
no
What will fizz in contact with hydrochloric acid?
Magnesium Carbonate
What is the reaction of cement with hydrochloric acid?
a big fizz
Does gypsum fizz in HCL?
No. Gypsum does not fizz in HCl as it is a sulfate, not a carbonate.
How can you tell if one of the minerals in a rock is calcite?
Hydrochloric Acid- Calcite will fizz.

Is optical calcite a rock or a mineral?
Calcite is a mineral. It reacts to hydrochloric acid and it will fizz.
How does calcium react with hydrochloric acid?
They fizz up and produce a gas. Plus form a compound.
What happens when hydrochloric acid mixes with sodium hydroxide?
It will fizz up and overflow with lots of bubbles.
What does dilute hydrochloric acid do to limestone?
when acid is on limestone to start with there would be a continues fizz. After time acid would were slowly chip and were away the rock.
