Commonly, released gas bubbles trapped in the mineral, typically seen when acid comes into contact with any calcium-bearing substance, such as limestone.

What happen to the bone when exposed to acid?

Bone is largely made of calcium carbonate and when exposed to acid this mineral will react with the acid to release CO2. The bone will appear to be dissolved by the acid.


What minerals react with acid only when scratched?

Calcite is a mineral that reacts with acid, specifically hydrochloric acid, only when it is scratched. This test is known as the "acid test" and is commonly used in mineral identification. When calcite is scratched, fresh surfaces are exposed, allowing the acid to react with the mineral.


Which mineral will effervesce when exposed to dilute acid?

Calcite and dolomite minerals will effervesce when exposed to dilute acid, such as hydrochloric acid. This effervescence is due to the reaction of the acid with the calcium carbonate in these minerals, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide gas.


What do geologists use the acid test for?

Geologists use the acid test to identify and distinguish between different types of minerals based on their reaction to acid. By observing if a mineral fizzes or dissolves when exposed to acid, geologists can determine the mineral's chemical composition.


What mineral will oxidize when it is exposed to oxygen and water?

Lots of materials oxidize when exposed to oxygen; water is not strictly necessary for this to occur.Aluminium, for example, oxidizes almost immediately when exposed to oxygen. You've probably never touched aluminium; anything aluminium you've picked up had a thin, transparent layer of alumina (aluminium oxide) covering and protecting the metal underneath.


Can Vicodin cause GI beeding?

Vicodin cannot cause acid in the stomach because acid is already naturally inside the stomach but the over use of the Vicodin could cause you to get sick so if you have not eaten then you would be throwing up acid from your stomach which could lead you to think that it could cause stomach acid.


Is hydro choleric acid organic or mineral?

Hydrochloric acid is a mineral acid, not organic. It is a strong acid produced by inorganic reactions involving hydrogen and chlorine atoms.


What is a mineral other then calcite that contains effervescence?

Dolomite is another mineral that can exhibit effervescence when exposed to acid. It shares a similar chemical composition to calcite but contains more magnesium, causing it to react with acid and release bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.


Is pantothenic acid a mineral?

No, Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) is a vitamin and not a mineral.


What physical and chemical weathering changes could limestone be exposed to in the future?

erosion, acid rain...


Why carbonic acid list in mineral acid if it is weak acid?

Someone should not have placed carbonic acid in the mineral acid list. For your edification though, whether or not an acid is strong or weak has no bearing on whether or not it is a mineral acid or an organic acid. Mineral acid is any acid comprised of one or more inorganic compounds and dissociate into a hydrogen ion and conjugate base.


What mineral is colorless and bubbles with acid and often used in cement and lime?

The mineral is likely calcite, which is colorless and effervesces when exposed to acid due to its high calcium carbonate content. Calcite is commonly used in cement and lime production due to its presence of calcium, an essential component in these materials.
