When a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid is placed on a piece of Chalk, the acid reacts with the calcite and forms bubbles of carbon dioxide. This "fizz" reaction is so characteristic of limestone than many geologists carry a small bottle of dilute hydrochloric acid into the field for a rapid and easy identification of limestone. During the reaction, the bubbles of carbon dioxide rise, then turn a brownish color, and then decrease in size. This is weird because the hydrochloric acid starts out as a white fizz.

When you mix chalk with water and then evaporate the water what do you have?

When you mix chalk with water and then evaporate the water, you are left with chalk dust or solid chalk residue. Evaporating the water removes the liquid component, leaving behind the solid chalk particles that were initially dissolved in the water.


What happens when you mix chalk with club soda?

When you mix chalk with club soda, the carbonation in the soda can cause the chalk to dissolve slowly. This reaction occurs as the carbon dioxide in the club soda creates carbonic acid, which reacts with the calcium carbonate in chalk to form calcium bicarbonate.


Will chalk dissolve in sprite?

Chalk will not dissolve in Sprite because chalk is made mostly of calcium carbonate which is not soluble in water. The chalk will remain solid and will not mix with the liquid.


Why does a foil not separate chalk sugar and water?

A foil does not separate chalk, sugar, and water because these substances are all able to mix and dissolve in water. Chalk is insoluble in water but sugar is soluble, so both can dissolve into the water without being separated by the foil barrier.


How would you ix 1 part water to 3 parts chalk mix?

To fix a mixture of 1 part water to 3 parts chalk, you could add more chalk to thicken the mixture and balance out the excess water. Gradually add small amounts of chalk while stirring until you reach the desired consistency. Alternatively, you could increase the overall quantity of the mixture by adding more chalk and water in the appropriate ratio to achieve the desired result.

What happens when you put chalk into water?

If you put a piece of chalk in water, don't expect much to happen. The chalk, which is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), will displace some water and sink. It will grow in mass by a small amount since it is permeable and is absorbing the water.

What happens when you mix lemon lime soda witch chalk and Water?

Chalk is primarily composed of calcium carbonate. Citric acid reacts with calcium carbonate to form calcium citrate, carbon dioxide and water. citric acid = HA, deprotenated = A 2 HA + CaCO3 --------> Ca(A)2 + H2O CO2
