Is H2PO3 an acid or base?

Acid, I think. It makes [some] soda-waters 'fizz' & 'treats/prevents' rust upon iron. If you knew the pH of some popular colas/sodas from a bottle or can you'd think twice before drinking them.


A test for this mineral is you pour acid on it what mineral is this?

Pouring hydrochloric acid, or HCL, over a mineral will cause carbonate minerals to effervesce. This application is called the "acid test," it simply examines the mineral or rocks reaction to acid. Calcite is the most commonly found carbonate mineral and it will fizz during the acid test. Dolomite is another carbonate mineral; however, it will only fizz if it is first powdered. Experiments also show that undiluted vinegar can cause effervescing, but it produces less vivacious results. Some sedimentary rocks that fizz include chalk, coquina, oolic limestone, fossilferous limestone, and micrite. The metamorphic rock marble also fizzes.


What is the fizz in coca cola?

The fizz in Coca-Cola, like all carbonated drinks, comes from dissolved carbon dioxide in the liquid. Upon opening the container, the internal pressure drops, causing the dissolved gas to escape.


What conclusion can you make about chemical makeup of calcite based upon reaction of the acid test?

The acid test for calcite involves applying a weak acid, such as hydrochloric acid, which causes the mineral to fizz or effervesce. This reaction occurs because calcite is primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), which reacts with the acid to produce carbon dioxide gas (CO₂), water (H₂O), and soluble calcium ions. Thus, the vigorous fizzing indicates the presence of calcium carbonate, confirming calcite's chemical makeup.


How does carbon dioxi make the fizz in fizzy drinks?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) creates fizz in fizzy drinks through a process called carbonation. When CO2 is dissolved in the liquid under pressure, it forms carbonic acid, which gives the drink its characteristic tangy taste. When the pressure is released upon opening the bottle or can, the dissolved CO2 escapes in the form of bubbles, creating the fizzy sensation. This effervescence is what makes fizzy drinks enjoyable and refreshing.


Why does a Coke Fizz when you drop a cigarette in it?

I was searching for an answer myself and stumbled upon your question which was the same as mine. I assume that the carbon in the cigarette ash reacts with the CO2 dissolved in the beer. I do not know what chemical reaction is going on here if that is the case, hopefully someone will answer all of this with certainty for us both.


Is hcl stronger than nitric acid?

Hydrochloric acid and nitric acid have comparable degrees of acidity; the strength of either acid will depend upon the concentration.


What does Case to be reset upon application mean?

"Case to be reset upon application" typically means that the case will return to its initial state or default settings after an action has been completed or an application has been closed. This can help ensure consistency and readiness for the next use.


This acid can form hydroflouric acid upon contact with moisture?

Hydrogen fluoride can form hydrofluoric acid when it comes in contact with moisture. Hydrofluoric acid is a highly corrosive and toxic acid that can cause severe burns and tissue damage upon exposure. It is important to handle hydrogen fluoride with extreme caution to prevent the formation of hydrofluoric acid.


Why is homogenization important?

The importance of homogeneous (or heterogeneous) depends upon the application.


What acid mixed with calcium makes calcium sulphate?

Sulfuric acid will form calcium sulfate upon reaction with calcium.


What is to drop or fall heavily?

To drop or fall heavily is to descend with great force or weight, often making a loud noise upon impact.
