Dilute hydrochloric acid can be used to distinguish quartz from marble by conducting a simple acid test. When a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid is applied to quartz, there will be no visible reaction since quartz is resistant to acid. On the other hand, if the acid is applied to marble, it will fizz or bubble due to the reaction with the calcium carbonate in the marble, indicating that the rock is marble.
What else can I help you with?
Is cyclohexanol soluble in Dilute HCL?
No, cyclohexanol is not soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid because it is a neutral compound and does not ionize in water to form an ionic species that could be solvated by the chloride ions in HCl.
Is dilute hydrochloric acid found in vinegar?
YES my science book says so it has components of salt and hydrochloric acid is found in both. your welcome...very,very welcome.Vinegar contain:Ethanoic Acid (syn.: acetic acid, with the chemical formula CH3COOH)no hydrochloric acid HCl !
What could happen if gold is placed in dilute hydrochloric acid?
Nothing, gold does not react with hydrochloric acid, if there are impurities of other metals in gold then impurities may react and form chloride salts.
What would you get if you mixed copper with hydrochloric acid?
Mixing copper with hydrochloric acid would produce copper chloride and hydrogen gas. This reaction would dissolve the copper, forming a blue-green solution of copper chloride. The release of hydrogen gas could be observed as bubbles.
What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a piece of sandstone?
The sandstone grains will not be affected, but the cementing material between grains could react with dilute hydrochloric acid if it is composed of calcite. Chances are, though, that the cementing material is silicate in nature, and therefore will not react with dilute hydrochloric acid.
How could you differentiate between marble and white quartz?
Marble will effervesce in vinegar or diluted hydrochloric acid--quartzite will not. Both quartzite and marble are meta-sedimentary rocks. However, quartzite comes from a quartz rich sandstone, and marble comes from limestone.White marble is white limestone that has gone through metamorphosis.White Quartzite is white sandstone that has gone through metamorphosis.
What test could you perform to tell a quartzite rock from a marble rock?
One would be a scratch test. The quartzite is much harder than the marble. Another test would be the use of dilute hydrochloric acid, which will cause decomposition of the calcite minerals forming the marble.

What minerals would be least immune to chemical weathering limestone quartz marble and granite?
The answer is marble because it is like glass and if there were a piece on the ground it could be easily broken but if there were a tornado the tornado couldnt break it. Marble is very fragile.
Could quartz be considered a mineral?
Quartz is a mineral.
How can you check if a rock is calcite?
Calcite reacts to acid. The best thing to do to determine if a mineral is calcite is to place a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid on a sample. If the mineral fizzes and carbon dioxide bubbles are produced, the mineral is calcite. Place a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid on the mineral. If it fizzes and carbon dioxide bubbles are produced, the mineral is calcite.
What is the possessive of marble?
The possessive form of "marble" is "marble's." For example, you could say "the marble's surface" to indicate something that belongs to or relates to the marble.
What would you get if you mixed copper with hydrochloric acid?
Mixing copper with hydrochloric acid would produce copper chloride and hydrogen gas. This reaction would dissolve the copper, forming a blue-green solution of copper chloride. The release of hydrogen gas could be observed as bubbles.
How could you tell if an unkown substance is sodium chloride or calcium carbonate?
Add dilute hydrochloric acid to both. There will be no reaction with the sodium chloride but the calcium chloride will effervesce and give off carbon dioxide which will turn lime-water milky.
