How do you separate calcium carbonate from sand?

Both the components in the mixture are insoluble in water. However, calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride (which is soluble in water) whereas the sand remains unchanged. Sand can now be separated by filtration. Calcium carbonate is recovered back by treating the filtrate (calcium chloride) with sodium carbonate. After filtration is again carried out, what you have on the filter paper is calcium carbonate.

Why do you use hydrochloric acid to separate calcium carbonate from sand but not sulphuric acid?

Hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium carbonate to form calcium chloride, carbon dioxide gas, and water, which helps dissolve the calcium carbonate. On the other hand, sulfuric acid does not react with calcium carbonate as effectively as hydrochloric acid, making it less efficient for separating calcium carbonate from sand.
