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 gypsum fizz in HCL?

No, gypsum does not fizz in hydrochloric acid (HCl) like carbonate minerals do. Gypsum is a sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, so it does not react with HCl to produce carbon dioxide gas like carbonates do.

Does quartz fizz in hydrochloric acid?

No, quartz does not fizz in hydrochloric acid. This is because quartz is a hard and resistant mineral that is not reactive to acids.


What will fizz in contact with hydrochloric acid?

Magnesium Carbonate


Which minerals fizz when hydrochloric acid is dropped on the minerals?

Minerals such as calcite, dolomite, and limestone will fizz when hydrochloric acid is dropped on them. This fizzing occurs due to the reaction between the acid and the carbonate minerals, producing carbon dioxide gas.


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.


In earth space science what minerals fizz when in contact with hydrochloric acid?

Minerals that typically fizz when in contact with hydrochloric acid include calcite, dolomite, and limestone. This fizzing occurs because these minerals contain calcium carbonate, which reacts with the acid to produce carbon dioxide gas.


Does gneiss fizzle when hydrochloric acid touches it?

No. Gneiss is metamorphosed granite. It does not contain any carbonates so it does not fizz.


Does quartz fizz with a drop of hydrochloric acid?

No, with only a few exceptions quartz will not react with acids. This is fortunate as most containers used in chemistry are made of glass, which is chemically similar to quartz.


Does fluorite fizz when it comes in contact with hydrochloric acid?

No, fluorite does not fizz when it comes in contact with hydrochloric acid like some other minerals. It does not contain carbonate ions that react with acid to produce bubbles of carbon dioxide gas. Fluorite is composed primarily of calcium and fluoride ions.


What happens when hydrochloric acid mixes with sodium hydroxide?
