Soil that contains large quantities of calcium was most likely formed by the weathering of?

Soil that contains large quantities of calcium was most likely formed by the weathering of calcium-bearing rocks such as limestone or gypsum. These rocks are rich in calcium minerals that dissolve over time, releasing calcium into the soil.


Why is there a white coating on calcium?

The white coating on calcium is likely calcium carbonate, which forms when calcium comes into contact with carbon dioxide in the air. This reaction creates a thin layer of calcium carbonate on the surface of the calcium, giving it a white appearance.


Predict the most likely products formed from the reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal?

The reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal is likely to produce calcium oxide, sodium carbonate, and carbon as products. Calcium oxide is formed from the decomposition of calcium carbonate, while sodium carbonate is formed from the reaction of sodium metal with carbon dioxide released from the decomposition of calcium carbonate. Carbon is produced as a byproduct.


What most likely product is formed from the reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal?

The reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal would likely produce calcium oxide, sodium oxide, and carbon. The calcium oxide and sodium oxide would be the main products, with carbon formation as a byproduct.


The most likely products formed from the reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal?

The most likely products formed from the reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal are calcium oxide (CaO) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). Calcium carbonate will react with sodium metal to form calcium oxide, sodium carbonate, and carbon in the form of soot.

Benefits of liquid calcium and magnesium?

All liquid supplements are more easily absorbed by the body, so liquid calcium would be more likely to be utilized by the body instead of just passing through as frequently happens with regular calcium supplements. In order for calcium to work, it needs magnesium, so liquid magnesium would also be better absorbed by the body so that it can be utilized optimally.


Which mineral is most likely to display effervescence when treated with dilute acid?

Calcite is the most likely mineral to display effervescence when treated with dilute acid. The acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in calcite, releasing carbon dioxide gas, which causes the mineral to bubble or fizz.


What mineral is colorless and bubbles with acid and often used in cement and lime?

The mineral is likely calcite, which is colorless and effervesces when exposed to acid due to its high calcium carbonate content. Calcite is commonly used in cement and lime production due to its presence of calcium, an essential component in these materials.


Is osteoporosis preventable or non-preventable?

If you eat a lot of calcium (milk and/or supplements) and engage in weight-bearing excercise (i.e. not swimming) throughout your life you will be less likely to get osteoporosis.


Where is clacium found?

In teeth and bones. You can consume it through dairy products. ADDED: Calcium, is the right spelling. You are not likely to find calcium outside of a laboratory. It is an element, metal and highly-reactive. Normally you find its compounds, of which the most common are Calcium Carbonate, the main constituent of chalk and limestone; and Calcium Phosphate, the bone and teeth mineral.

Does collagen tabs make you constipated?

Though I don't think it's common, but collagen tablets made from shark fins and other sea animals can increase the calcium content in the body which, in turn, can result in constipation. If you take calcium supplements and these collagen tablets it's more likely.

Can calcium tablets be used after expiry date?

Not really. Actually, calcium is a mineral and it does not expire as stated on the labels of calcium supplements. They can safely be taken even after 2-3 years of their expiration, only the potency will be somewhat reduced. They can be taken with a lot of water and some vitamin D.
