Important is the percentage of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the material. For an equivalent mass of pure chalk or pure marble the quantity of released carbon dioxide is the same - the chemical formula is the same.

Marbel chalk and limestone all contain a substance called calcium carbonate. explain what would happen if they were each put into some hydrochloric acid?

When marble, chalk, or limestone are placed into hydrochloric acid, a chemical reaction occurs which releases carbon dioxide gas. The calcium carbonate in these substances reacts with the hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide. This reaction can be observed by the formation of bubbles as the carbon dioxide gas is released.


WHAT following rocks IS reacts with an acid?

Without the list of rocks we cannot respond to this question.


Is gas produced when you add acid to chalk?

Yes, when an acid such as hydrochloric acid is added to chalk (calcium carbonate), it reacts to produce carbon dioxide gas, calcium chloride, and water. The carbon dioxide gas is the visible product of this reaction.


Which gas can evolve when an acid reacts with chalk?

Carbon dioxide gas evolves when an acid, such as hydrochloric acid, reacts with chalk, which is primarily made of calcium carbonate. This reaction releases carbon dioxide gas, water, and calcium chloride.


What is the effect of hydrochloric acid and chalk?

When hydrochloric acid reacts with chalk (calcium carbonate), it produces carbon dioxide gas, water, and calcium chloride. This reaction is a chemical reaction that results in the fizzing or bubbling of the carbon dioxide gas being released.


Which carbonate mineral reacts readily with cool dilute hydrochloric acid to produce visible bubbles of carbon dioxide gas?

Any carbonate will fizz. Examples would be calcite, marble, limestone. They are all calcium carbonate.


Which gas is given off when hydrochloric acid is poured on chalk?

I assume you mean calcium carbonate, calcite.CaCO3 + 2HCl --> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2OThat particular reaction product would be carbon dioxide.


Which common minerals fizzes when dilute hydrochloric acid HCI is placed on it?

Calcite is a common mineral that will fizz when dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is placed on it. This reaction is due to the release of carbon dioxide gas from the mineral when it comes in contact with the acid.


What happen when dilute nitric acid is added to a sample of chalk?

Chalk is calcium carbonate (CaCO3) thus addition of dilute acid will produce carbon dioxide and a calcium salt. E.g. addition of dilute hydrochloric acid will produce CO2 and calcium chloride (CaCl2).


Will citric acid dissolve chalk?

No, citric acid will not dissolve chalk. Chalk is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in citric acid. An acid like hydrochloric acid would be more effective in dissolving chalk.


What gas is given off when you react chalk with an acid?

CaCO3 + 2 HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O Calcium Carbonate + 2 Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium Chloride + Carbon Dioxide(which is a gas) + Water CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH = Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O Calcium Carbonate + 2 Acetic Acid (Vinegar) = Calcium Acetate + Carbon Dioxide + Water In these equations it is obvious that Carbon Dioxide is mostly released after an reaction of calcium carbonate with some acids.


What happened to the chalk mixed with hydrochloric acid and being heated?

CaCO3,s + 2H+aq --> Ca2+aq + CO2,g + H2Oliq You don't need to heat it up, it goes very well at room temperature, even below freezing point. The reaction rate depends more on coarseness of the chalk and the concentration of HCl.
