Carbolic acid, also known as phenol, can dissolve some minerals, particularly those that are susceptible to acidic conditions. However, not all minerals will dissolve in carbolic acid as some may require stronger acids or specific chemical properties to dissolve. It is important to consider the reactivity of the mineral and the properties of the acid when attempting to dissolve minerals.
