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 is the formula when calcium carbonate breaks down into carbon dioxide oxygen and calcium?

The balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of calcium carbonate is: CaCO3(s) -> CO2(g) + O2(g) + CaO(s).


Why does an egg shell disappear after 3 days in vinegar?

The egg doesn't actually turn into rubber. The vinegar is an acid and the eggshell contains calcium carbonate which is a salt. The acidic vinegar breaks down the calcium carbonate of the shell (the calcium acetate is formed) and therefore dissolves it leaving only the thick membrane surrounding the hard boiled egg. It is only an egg without a shell.


Why does calcium carbonate react to acid rain?

Calcium carbonate reacts with acid rain because the acid in the rain, typically sulfuric acid or nitric acid, causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the calcium carbonate into its component ions, releasing carbon dioxide gas. This reaction forms soluble calcium ions, which can then be carried away in the water.


What happens to the solidity of calcium carbonate is heated?

When calcium carbonate is heated, it breaks down by thermal decomposition to carbon dioxide & calcium oxide (quicklime). Here is the word equation: Calcium carbonate --> Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide Here is the chemical equation: CaCO3 (s) --> CaO (s) + CO2 (g)


What is the combination of hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate?

When hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium carbonate, it forms calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water. This is a chemical reaction in which the acid breaks down the carbonate compound to produce the chloride salt.


What gas is made when limestone is heated and breaks down into simpler chemical products?

When calcium carbonate (limestone, CaCO3) breaks down, carbon dioxide (CO2, gas) and calcium oxide (CO, solid) are formed


Hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate makes?

Hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate react to form calcium chloride, carbon dioxide gas, and water. This is a chemical reaction where the acid breaks down the carbonate compound to form the chloride salt, release gas, and produce water as a byproduct.


Why do egg shells dissolve in hydrochloric acid?

Egg shells are made of calcium carbonate, which reacts with hydrochloric acid to form carbon dioxide, water, and calcium chloride. This reaction causes the egg shell to dissolve as the calcium carbonate breaks down into its component parts in the acid solution.


Which 2 compounds are made when you heat limestone?

Limestone is calcium carbonate (Ca(CO)3. When sufficiently heated it breaks down into lime (calcium oxide, CaO), and water (H2O).


Balanced equation of calcium carbonate while heated?

Ca(ClO3)2 ---> CaCl2 + 3O2 is the balanced equation when calcium chlorate is heated.
