It is the only way of dissolving CaCO3.

HCl + CaCO3 --> Ca2+ + H2O + CO2

In neutral water CaCO3 is insoluble.

How can limestone testing as caco3?

To test limestone for its calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content, you can use an acid test. By adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to a sample of limestone, a reaction will occur if it contains calcium carbonate, producing bubbles of carbon dioxide gas. The intensity of the reaction can indicate the purity of the limestone.


Why does CaCo3 otherwise called marble chips react with vinegar?

CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) is a mild base, and as such reacts to neutralise acids. Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid (AcH). CaCO3 + 2AcH --> H2O + CO2 + CaAc


Can you separate chemicaly MgCO3 from CaCO3?

I have the same task. Maybe this one would work: If amount of CaCO3 is known I would try to add stechiometric amount of any diluted acid (e.g. HCl), which would form Ca water soluble salt to solution of MgCO3/CaCO3 in water (note, that these salts are not soluble in water, therefore that will colloid solution). The reaction would be CaCO3+2HCl=CaCl2+H2O+CO2. Calcium is more reactive metal than Mg, therefore, CaCO3 would react first if you add acid. After all CaCO3 is consumed, just filter of MgCO3


What is the equation for the mixture of chalk and HCl?

The reaction between chalk (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) can be represented by the chemical equation: CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O


Is eggshell a mixture or a pure substance?

eggshell is a kind of compound CaCO3 (calcium carbonate)


What is the word equation for CaCo2?

No such substance as 'CaCo2'. Do you mean calcium carbonate, in which case the formula is 'CaCO3'? or do you mean an alloy(mixture) of 1 part calcium(Ca) to 2 parts cobalt(Co)?


What dilute acid is added to a sample of limestone the rock fizzes what chemical does the rock contain?

If the limestone rock fizzes when dilute acid is added, it indicates the presence of calcium carbonate in the rock. When calcium carbonate reacts with acid, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes the fizzing.


Is calcim carbonate a element compound or mixture?

Calcium Carbonate is a compound and an element. However, it is not a mixture. If it is a compound or a element, then it can not be a mixture


What is the grams of substance in 4.5 moles CaCO3?

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 66.1221g CaCO3/mole CaCO3. This means that 1 mole CaCO3 = 66.1221g CaCO3. To find the mass of 4.5 mole CaCO3, complete the following calculation: 4.5g CaCO3 X 1mol CaCO3/66.1221g CaCO3 = 0.068 mole CaCO3.


Formula of limestone?

It is CaCO3.....it is the same as marbleFormula: CaCO3


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 .


How do you balance CaCO3 ----- CaO CO2?

the answer is DECOMPOSITION... and that is the answer not CaCO3
