In the absence of water, not much. However, when water is present, the carbon dioxide reacts with it to form carbonic acid. This reaction makes the water more acidic. The carbonate ion is protonated to form calcium bicarbonate. This compound is water soluble, unlike calcium carbonate. Thus, the solid calcium carbonate dissolves as calcium bicarbonate, due to the increased acidity of the water.

Is caco3 insoluble when react with water?

caco3 is solid form. its density is high so caco3 is not soluble in water. but co2 mix in water befuor the mix in caco3 . so caco3 is soluble after mixing the co2 .

What happens when you mix sulfuric acid and calcium carbonate?

When sulfuric acid is mixed with calcium carbonate, a chemical reaction occurs where calcium sulfate, carbon dioxide gas, and water are produced. The equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + CaCO3 → CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O. The carbon dioxide gas will bubble out of the solution.


What happens if you heat limestone?

Limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which when heated to above 840°C decomposes into calcium oxide (CaO) while releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) according to the equation: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2


How do CaO and CO2 react?

CaO + CO2 ==> CaCO3


When calcium carbonate decomposes according to the equation caco3-cao CO2 how many grams of CO2 are produced from the decomposition of 520 g of caco3?

To find the grams of CO2 produced from the decomposition of 520 g of CaCO3, we first need to calculate the molar mass of CaCO3, which is 100.09 g/mol. This means 520 g of CaCO3 is equal to 5.19 moles. From the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of CaCO3 produces 1 mole of CO2. Therefore, 5.19 moles of CaCO3 will produce 5.19 moles of CO2 which is equal to 235.10 g of CO2.
