Marble is made out of mostly carbonates. When any acid, including hydrochloric acid, is added to a carbonate, carbon dioxide will form. The acid may bubble as the reaction takes place, and some or all of the marble will be destroyed.

Marbel chalk and limestone all contain a substance called calcium carbonate. explain what would happen if they were each put into some hydrochloric acid?

When marble, chalk, or limestone are placed into hydrochloric acid, a chemical reaction occurs which releases carbon dioxide gas. The calcium carbonate in these substances reacts with the hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide. This reaction can be observed by the formation of bubbles as the carbon dioxide gas is released.

It depends upon the acid.A strong acid will easily dissolve the bone while a weak one won't.I think HCL to be a strong acid so the bone will be dissolved in it.

What would happen if gold ring was put in dilute acid?

If a gold ring is put in dilute acid, such as hydrochloric acid, the gold will not react as gold is a noble metal and is resistant to corrosion by acids. However, if the acid is concentrated or a different type of acid, such as aqua regia, gold can dissolve due to the formation of gold ions.


How might a geologist use acid in the field to identify carbonate rocks such as anhydrite and gypsum?

If you put cold dilute Hydrochloric acid on a carbonate rock the acid dissolves the rock and you get bubbles of carbon dioxide in the acid. This reaction will only happen with carbonate rocks.


What happes when you put hydrochloric acid in a iron container?

When hydrochloric acid is put into an iron container, it reacts with the iron to form iron(II) chloride and hydrogen gas. This reaction can cause the iron container to corrode or degrade over time due to the chemical reaction occurring between the acid and the metal.
