Chalk is made of calcium carbonate which is insoluble in water. The chemical bonds are to strong. It does dissolve in acids.
Many minerals do not dissolve in water.
(It would be better to say that many do not dissolve easily, but we are not discussing why it take millions of years to dissolve granite.)
In chemistry, one would say that a mineral dissolves readily if it can be broken into parts that become ions and the hydration energy of the ions is larger than the cohesive energy of the constituents in the solid. (More generally, it can be any subunit or whole molecules which are hydrated. Sugar, for instance, dissolves into whole molecules.)
There are two kinds of chalk. The mineral Chalk is a porous form of limestone composed of calcium carbonate. Blackboard chalk is calcium sulfate.
In both versions of chalk there is low solubility in water and there are some additional details that are interesting if you study chemistry because some forms of the substance are "hydrated" and that is an important aspect in their water chemistry.
The bottom line is that things dissolve in water when the water molecule will adhere strongly to the different subunits of the molecules of the solid and it will not dissolve if the adhesion between between particles of the solid is strong enough and that is the case for chalk.
Because it is hard
yes, u can test this by putting the chalk in water
When chalk (the mineral) dissolves in water, it's called "limewater".
No. Chalk is insoluble in water. Adding sugar will not change that.
physical
No chalk is not solouble. When chalk is put in water the water becomes a suspension ie the particles of chalk keep floating in water.
In order to dissolve chalk in water, vinegar needs to be added. The vinegar has acid in it that eats away at the chalk to dissolve it.
No! its insoluble
No glue that I know of can dissolve chalk.

Nothing will happen when you add water to chalk, because chalk does not dissolve in water. However, if you are drawing with chalk, as the water evaporates, it will allow the chalk to spread and create more fun.
because it can break easily !

Rather badly.
Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water.
No, it is not. Chalk is calcite - calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and it won't dissolve in water.
