Examples of carbonate minerals would be calcite, dolomite, and aragonite. These are widely distributed in the Earth's crust. Less common carbonate minerals include siderite, rhodochrosite, strontianite, smithsonite, witherite, and cerussite. Minerals that are considered to be carbonates contain the carbonate ion, CO32−

Are both calcite and dolomite carbonate minerals?
Yes. Dolomite is calcium magnesium carbonate.
What will happen when carbonate minerals come into contact with hydrochloric aci?
The acid will react with the carbonate minerals, releasing CO2 gas, the minerals will "fizz".
How are carbonate mineral different from silicate minerals?
Carbonate minerals contain carbon and oxygen in the form of the carbonate ion (CO3-), whereas silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen in the form of various ions containing silicon and oxygen.
The mineral which effervesces in the acid you use in lab is?
Minerals with the calcium carbonate compound show effervescence. Calcite is the most common carbonate mineral.
Why do minerals and HCl not react?
Carbonate minerals do react with HCl. Calcite and dolomite for instance.
What do carbon minerals contain?
Most carbonate minerals are either calcium carbonate (limestone) or a mixture of calcium carbonate with magnesium carbonate (dolomite). However other metals can also combine with carbonate to produce much rarer carbonate minerals.
Are both calcite and dolomite carbonate minerals?
Yes. Dolomite is calcium magnesium carbonate.
What will happen when carbonate minerals come into contact with hydrochloric aci?
The acid will react with the carbonate minerals, releasing CO2 gas, the minerals will "fizz".
What Minerals that contain an element combined with oxygen?
The class of minerals called carbonates contain carbon and oxygen. One of the most common carbonate minerals is calcium carbonate, commonly called calcite.
What carbonate minerals contain?
Carbon.

The mineral which effervesces in the acid you use in lab is?
Minerals with the calcium carbonate compound show effervescence. Calcite is the most common carbonate mineral.
storage of minerals?
bones stores minerals like calcium, phosphate and carbonate.
Carbonate minerals contain oxygen and hydrogen?
No. They contain oxygen and carbon. Hence the carbonate.
What are the minerals in carbonate rocks?
Limestone is a carbonate rock formed from the secretion of a carbonate skeleton by marine animals. There are many different minerals that can be considered carbonates (anything with a CO3 in it), but the two most common minerals in limestone, the most common carbonate rock, are calcite (produced by forams, echinoderms and bivalves) and aragonite (produced by corals).
When carbonate minerals minerals come into with hydrochloric acid they?
Fizz. Carbonate mineral are alkaline and these react with the acid to produce a chloride salt and Carbon dioxide gas.
Why do minerals and HCl not react?
Carbonate minerals do react with HCl. Calcite and dolomite for instance.
