I am doing a science project on this right now! calcium carbonate dissolves in acid and not water because water just has no effect on it. Calcium carbonate is an ant-acid. that is why people with heartburn drink a lot of milk. In egg shells, CC exists as well. if you put the egg in vinegar for a week the shell is dissolved and turns to a rubber-like substance. so do bones-you can try a chicken bone too-and teeth. That is why dentists tell you not to eat acidic foods too. acids can sometimes be strong enough to dissolve ant-acids sometimes. thats just the way it is! sorry if this wasn't the right answer for you...keep looking! :) ;)

Is calcium carbonate soluble in acids?
It reacts with acid but not soluble in water.
Compound X is unknown Compound X does not dissolve in water does not react with water and is used to control soil acidity what is compound X?
Yes, it is the ammonium hydroxide - NH4OH.
What happens when acidic ground water comes into contact with rock that contain calcium carbonate?
when acidic ground water comes in contact with rock that contains calcium carbonate the acidic water starts to dissolve the rock
When acids react with carbonate compounds which gas is released?
Typically whenever carbonate compounds react with acids carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and water (H2O) is formed. For example: 2HNO3 + CaCO3 -----> H2O + CO2 + Ca(NO3)2 nitric acid + calcium carbonate -----> water + carbon dioxide + calcium nitrate
When stone marble is introduced to acids such as sulfuric and nitric acid. What gases are produced?
Marble is composed of calcium carbonate, the carbonate of this ionic substance reacts with acids to form carbon dioxide and water.
Will powdered chalk dissolve?
Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water.
Why is it important to add sodium chloridne to water when making homemade ice cream?
If you add calcium carbonate to 100g of water at 25oC, only 0.0014g of it will dissolve. Additional calcium carbonate will not dissolve.
Can vinegar dissolve rocks?
Calcium acetate is reasonably soluble in water, so vinegar will dissolve limestone (calcium carbonate).
Is calcium carbonate soluble in acids?
It reacts with acid but not soluble in water.
Compound X is unknown Compound X does not dissolve in water does not react with water and is used to control soil acidity what is compound X?
Yes, it is the ammonium hydroxide - NH4OH.
Is there any base that does not dissolve in water?
Yes, there are many insoluble bases such as calcium carbonate.
What 2 materials dissolve in hot water minerals?
Calcium chloride and sodium carbonate are soluble in water.
How do you separate sodium chloride from calcium carbonate?
Dissolve the sodium chloride(which is actually salt) in water. Then, filter the calcium carbonate with the help of filter paper. Crystallize the solution of sodium chloride with water... Hope this helps! :)
What happens when acidic ground water comes into contact with rock that contain calcium carbonate?
when acidic ground water comes in contact with rock that contains calcium carbonate the acidic water starts to dissolve the rock
What happens when calcium carbonate reacts with water?
At standard temperature and pressure, calcium carbonate does not react with neutral water, but simply dissolves to a slight extent. If the water is sufficiently acidic as a result of other constituents, carbon dioxide gas can be displaced from the calcium carbonate.
What caves are stalactites and stalagmites formed?
Caves that have cacium carbonate in their geology. The calcium carbonate dissolve in water, but as that water evaporates the calcium carbonate is left behind. It gradually forms a spike from the ceiling or the floor as the drips evaporate leaving behind their solutes.
Calcium carbonate is most likely to dissolve in water with which characteristics?
lots of carbon dioxide and warm temperatures
