Because Marble chips, Calcium carbonate, (CaCO3), require an acidic pH (less than 7) in order to dissolve at a useful rate*. The lower the pH, the faster it reacts. At a pH of ~8 or higher, it loses almost all of its aqueous solubility.
* Actually marble chips are slightly soluble in water. This is why they make such great stalactites and stalagmites. However, for most practical purposes, they are insoluble in water because they dissolve at a very slow rate, slow enough to be impractical for almost any useful purpose.

Are boiling chips soluble in water?
Boiling chips are not soluble in water.
What is the pH of marble chips?
pH is measured only in solutions or liquids. Marble chips has not a pH.
The rate of reaction between hcl and marble chips?
it depends on amounts of marble and concentration of acid
What will happen if acid reacts with marble?
Marble chips are calcium carbonate. If the hydrochloric acid is strong(concentrated), it acts upon the marble and corrodes it liberating
Can you grind marble chips using a peslte and mortar?
No, you cannot grind marble chips using a pestle and mortar. This tool is typically used for more kitchen applications then home repair.
How do you separate salt and marble chips?
First you mix both chalk and salt in water. From the solution that you get, you can filter the chalk out because it is non soluble in water. As for the salt, all there is to do is to just evaporate the water out.
