What is calcium carbonite?

There is no such thing as calcium carbonite. It is likely a typo or a misspelling. However, calcium carbonate is a common compound found in rocks, shells, and pearls, and is often used as a dietary supplement for calcium.


What type of matter is chalk?

Chalk is a solid. But obviousley when it is like, well, rubbed i guess you could say it because a sort of gas type thing. the second sentence above is wrong.footnote. Chalk was the name given to the immense deposits of the calcium carbonate remains of tiny sea animals.The schoolroom chalk is usually made from a base of calcium sulphate (gypsum).


Why is calcium carbonate insoluable?

It is a very good question indeed! You see calcium chloride in which calcium is attached to two chlorine atoms is water soluble and vice versa sodium carbonate in which two sodium atoms are attached to one carbonate is soluble. In one to one proportion, calcium chloride molecule is insoluble. Now the answer for this question may go like this. In case of calcium chloride calcium gives one electron to each of chlorine atom. Now both chlorine atoms would have one negative charge. So both of them will repel each other and form the ions of calcium and two chlorine. Thus making them soluble. In case of sodium carbonate, two sodium atoms give electrons to carbonate. Now both sodium ions become positively charged and and would repel each other. So they would form ions along with carbonate. So sodium carbonate has become soluble. Now in case of calcium carbonate, calcium would like to give away 2 electrons but carbon becomes much electrically negative if it takes the electrons. So in this case no repelling force is there to help the metal, it surrenders and form sort of covalent bond and thus ions are not formed. So calcium carbonate is insoluble in water.


How does calcium smell like?

Well, if it's with some sort of food coloring, it smells like a sweet/cinnamon smell. That's just what I tested, unless I got it wrong. But I think that's what it smells like. :) +++ It is odourless. Food colouring that uses calcium carbonate as a filler may be scented, which is probably what you mean. It is the primary constituent of limestone, and freshly-broken limestone can have a distinctive, sharp smell, but that arises from organic compounds within the rock, not from the mineral itself.


Is Calcium carbonate a Heterogeneous mixture?

Oxide is not any particular substance. The term oxide can refer to one of two things: 1: The oxide ion (O2-) which needs some sort of positive ion to balance the charge. 2: A binary compound containing oxygen and another element. Neither is an example of a mixture.

How exactly do calcium reactors work?

A calcium reactor maintains the level of calcium and alkalinity inside the reef aquarium. The reactor itself is nothing more than a chamber, it holds some sort of calcium-based substrate which is insoluble at 7.9-8.3 water pH. However, the substrate dissolves in lower pH, which frees the calcium and alkaline ions.


Is calcium caltrate the same as calcium?

No the chloride ion is a chlorine atom that has gained an electron and has a -1 charge. Because it is charged the chloride ion must be accompanied by a positive ion of some sort to balance the charge. Calcium chloride is a compound that contains chloride ions (Cl-) and calcium ions (Ca2+) and has the formula CaCl2
