Testing for CO3.2- (Carbonate) Ions includes adding dilute HCL to the sample, and you can tell if you have carbonate ions in the sample if fizzing or effervescence occur, giving off CO2 Gas...
Where X is the +ve ion, the equation goes like:
XCO3.2- + HCL ==> XCL + CO2 + H2O.

Equation CO32- + 2H+ -> H2O + CO2

What is the IUPAC name for the compound CaCO3?
Calcium Carbonate :)
What is iron carbonate?
what is iron carbonate
Is hydrogen carbonate soluble?
'Hydrogen Carbonate???? Do you mean Carbonic Acid . (H2CO3) or a Bi-carbonate such as sodium bi-carbonate. )NaHCO3)
What unique properties will help you identify the soluble compound as either sodium carbonate or starch?
Sodium carbonate is soluble in water
How could you use sodium carbonate powder to identify the solution that contains acid?

How might a geologist use acid in the field to identify carbonate rocks such as anhydrite and gypsum?
If you put cold dilute Hydrochloric acid on a carbonate rock the acid dissolves the rock and you get bubbles of carbon dioxide in the acid. This reaction will only happen with carbonate rocks.
What type of test can be used to identify calcium carbonate?
add hcl bubbles of co2 produced and flame test
Would it be possible to identify chloride iodide carbonate sulfate if mixed together?
By using specific methods of analytical chemistry.
What chemical test can be made to identify limestone?
Limestone will lightly fizz when vinegar is applied to the surface, from the reaction of the acid with the calcium carbonate in the stone.
What analytical instruments can be used to identify the metal in a salt such as calcium carbonate?
Examples: emission spectrometry, flame photometry, atomic absorption, etc.

copper(II) carbonate or cupric carbonate
Is the carbonate or the calcium the buffer in calcium carbonate?
The carbonate. Calcium is neutral.
What is the IUPAC name for the compound CaCO3?
Calcium Carbonate :)
What is the name and formula of carbonates?
