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! :) ;)

Does calcium carbonate dissolve in water?

Yes, calcium carbonate does dissolve in water to a limited extent.


Will calcium carbonate be dissolve in sodium chloride?

No, calcium carbonate is not soluble in sodium chloride. When calcium carbonate is mixed with sodium chloride in water, the calcium carbonate will remain as solid particles and not dissolve into the solution.


Can chalk dissolve in HCl and why?

No, chalk (calcium carbonate) does not dissolve in hydrochloric acid (HCl) because calcium carbonate is insoluble in acids. When HCl is added to chalk, it will react with the calcium carbonate to form calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide gas, but the chalk itself will not dissolve.


Which is the best solvent of Calcium Carbonate?

Water is the best solvent for calcium carbonate, as it can dissolve it under certain conditions due to its polar nature and ability to interact with the ions of calcium carbonate. Other solvents like acids or organic solvents can be used to dissolve calcium carbonate as well, but water is the most commonly used due to its effectiveness and availability.


Is calcium carbonate and water a suspension or a solution?

The solubility of calcium carbonate in water is very low; so calcium carbonate form a suspension.


Is calcium carbonate soluble in acids?

It reacts with acid but not soluble in water.


Will powdered chalk dissolve?

Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water.


Can vinegar dissolve rocks?

Calcium acetate is reasonably soluble in water, so vinegar will dissolve limestone (calcium carbonate).


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.


What is the product when calcium carbonate is added to water?

When calcium carbonate is added to water, it will form a suspension where the calcium carbonate particles are dispersed in the water. While some of the calcium carbonate may dissolve into calcium ions and carbonate ions, the majority will remain as solid particles in the water.


How calcium carbonate solve in water?

Calcium carbonate dissolves in water through a process called dissociation. When calcium carbonate is added to water, it breaks down into calcium ions (Ca^2+) and carbonate ions (CO3^2-). These ions then interact with water molecules, causing the calcium carbonate to dissolve.


What happens when H2O is added to CaCO3?

When H2O is added to CaCO3 (calcium carbonate), it can cause a chemical reaction where calcium carbonate may dissolve to form calcium ions (Ca2+) and carbonate ions (CO3 2-). This can result in the formation of a solution containing calcium ions and carbonate ions.
