How are halite and calcite alike?
Both calcite and halite are evaporate minerals.
How can tell when minerals is calcite or halite?
Halite will be easily soluble in water, calcite won't. Calcite has excellent rhombohedral cleavage, halite has excellent cubic cleavage. Halite will taste salty, calcite won't.
What minerals is a silicate Gematite Feldspar Calcite Halite?
Feldspar
What quick test could you to in order to determine which is halite and which is calcite?
Calcite is not soluble in water.
What quick test could you do to determine which is calcite and which is halite?
One quick test to differentiate between calcite and halite is the acid test. If you apply a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid on both samples, calcite will effervesce (bubble) due to its reaction with the acid, while halite will not show any reaction.

Is halite a carbonate?
No, halite is not a carbonate. Halite is the mineral form of sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt. Carbonates are minerals that contain the carbonate ion (CO3^2-), such as calcite (calcium carbonate) and dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate).
What are 8 examples of minerals?
Diamond, graphite, quartz, topaz, calcite, fluorite, dolomite, magnetite, hematite, pyrite...
Name two minerals that may be left behind when a body of salt water evaporates answer?
Examples: sodium chloride (halite) and calcite.
What are some minerals you might find contained in rocks?
There are many non-minerals you might find contained in rocks include gypsum. You might also find non-minerals like halite and calcite.
What three tests can you use to distinguish halite from colorless calcite?
Halite is sodium chloride and calcite is calcium carbonate so there are several differences between them:halite is soluble in water, calcite is not.calcite fizzes if you put acid on it, halite doesn'tcalcite forms trigonal crystals whereas halite is cubic
