How is Calcium carbonate used to neutralise acid emissions from power stations?
The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid as per any carbonate: Calcium Carbonate + Acid -> Calcium Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
Calcium carbonate plus hydrochloric acid is i dont know plus water is?
calcium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid= Calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
Does limestone react to acid?
No. It is a sedimentary rock. However, unlike sandstone which is also a sedimentary rock, it is primarily composed of calcium carbonate which can be eaten away by acid (like acid rain) gradually with time.
How can acid rain dissolve a limestone mountain?
Limestone, or calcium carbonate, is insoluble in pure water. However, in an acidic aqueous solution (such as acid rain), calcium carbonate is appreciably more soluble. Therefore, a small amount of the material will be dissolved as it is washed by acid rain. Gradually, this can wear down things made of limestone, such as monuments or mountains.
Why is there fizz when calcium carbonate is added to lemon juice?
I'm not sure, but it may be because the calcium carbonate is a base, and therefore it neutralises the citric acid in the lemon juice (which makes the lemon juice taste sour). The rapid release of CO2 (a product of the neutralisation)has caused the fizzing, and a salt (calcium citrate) is formed. It is often removed and added to sulphuric acid to make sweets.
How much citric acid and calcium carbonate make calcium citrate?
about three times citric acid of the total amt of calsium carbonate>>>>>>>>>>>
What happens when you mix lemon lime soda witch chalk and Water?
Chalk is primarily composed of calcium carbonate. Citric acid reacts with calcium carbonate to form calcium citrate, carbon dioxide and water. citric acid = HA, deprotenated = A 2 HA + CaCO3 --------> Ca(A)2 + H2O CO2
Why does chalk dissolve in lemon juice?
Lemon juice contains citric acid. Citric acid is a weak acid that has the chemical formula of C6H8O7. It reacts with chalk, which consists of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Whenever an acid reacts with a base, a salt and water are formed. Salts can dissolve in water (they are aqueous). Therefore, when chalk reacts with lemon juice, water and aqueous sodium citrate are formed. The sodium citrate dissolves into the water.
Which type of acid has calcium carbonate?
No acid contains calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is its own compound that is a base, not an acid. However, the erosion and deposition of calcium carbonate in nature is heavily influenced by carbonic acid.
What's the word equation for the descaling action of citroclean?
Citroclean is made of cirtic acid so it would be: Citric acid+Calcium carbonate-->Calcium citrate+Carbon dioxide+water
What is the chemical reaction which occurs between citric acid and calcium carbonate?
It fizzes and foams producing carbon dioxide bubbles.
How is Calcium carbonate used to neutralise acid emissions from power stations?
The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid as per any carbonate: Calcium Carbonate + Acid -> Calcium Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
Will hydrocloric acid dissolve hard stone?
Not normally. Hydrochloric acid will dissolve carbonates, so marble (calcium carbonate) would be dissolved but many rocks are impervious to acids.
Does gastric juice dissolve CaCO3 in shrimp shell?
Calcium carbonate is soluble in hydrochloric acid. But is difficult to dissolve in stomach a big piece of a shell.
Can citric acid not dissolve with water or it will?
Citric acid dissolves in water in an endothermic reaction.
What happens when you further dissolve calcium carbonate in acid?
Metal Carbonate + Acid -> metal salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water e.g. 3CaCO3+ 2H3PO4 -> Ca3(PO4)2 + 3CO2 + 3H2O
Why does calcium carbonate react to acid rain?
sulfuric acid in the rain water reacts with calcium carbonate.
