well the calcium bromide solution is less soluble than the sodium bromide..... but the lab has nothing to do with the solubility; so i believe it shouldn't make a difference.
Calcium carbonate is rather INsoluble, so there is no solution of it. I do not know why ammonium oxalate is added to a calcium carbonate solution. Calcium oxalate will then precipitate out of the solution. The ammonium and carbonate will create a weakly bond compound. Actually, more of the ammonium ion will be in solution as free ammonia and more of the carbonate ions will be in solution as free carbon dioxide. That is the nature of those two substances. So, you will have a solution that has a calcium oxalate precipitant on the bottom and is slowly giving off ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Rather insoluble.
It is not the anions (e.g. iodide) that are responsible for the flame test color, rather the cations such as sodium ion, potassium ion and calcium ion give you different colors.
Bromide is not, in an of itself, an acid or a base. Bromide is capable of combining with an H+ ion and then becomes Hydrobromic Acid. Due to Bromine's position on the periodic table it is likely to form acids, not bases.
use it to scratch other solid materials
if done in water solution, the extracted calcium would immediately react with the water to form calcium hydroxide.

Calcium is best described as combustible rather than flammable. It will burn, but you have to work at it.
Contractions are initiated by the calcium-activated phosphorylation of myosin rather than calcium binding to troponin.

In its pure form, calcium is a silvery, firm element which is rather malleable. From: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-calcium.htm
It is an rather unstable gas, its dimer is more common diBorane B2H6 but readily oxidises on contact with air.
Jöns Jakob Berzelius was the first person to isolate Calcium from electrolysis------------I believe it might have been Sir Humphrey Davy rather than Berzelius. Davy was following Berzelius who had succeeded in preparing an amalgam rather than the pure metal. Please see the wikipedia article about calcium.
X Defend is sort of like Calcium, i think, or whatever vitamin raises defense. But the only difference is that you use it during battle, rather than in normal game play.
When calcium chloride dissolves, it is rather exothermic (which makes it a good deicer for sidewalks). After mixing: the sodium and chloride ions will remain in solution and do nothing. The bicarbonate and calcium will react in a strange way. Ca2+ + 2 HCO3- → CaCO3 + H2CO3 As the calcium carbonate drops out of solution, the equilibrium of this reaction is further driven off to the right thus creating more carbonic acid. Carbonic acid easily decomposed to form water and carbon dioxide. H2CO3 → H20 + CO2 So, when you mix calcium carbonate and sodium bicarb, you get: Carbon dioxide gas, calcium carbonate solid, water and sodium and chloride ions.
Calcium is the chemical or rather the mineral that is used to make teeth.
