What category of mineral is dolomite?
Dolomite is a carbonate. The formula is CaMg(CO3)2
How do you differentiate between calcite and dolomite powder?
An easy test is to try to dissolve it with hydrochloric acid. Dolomite shows a much weaker reaction with acids than calcite. If this test is not conclusive one can add quinalizarin to the acid. In the case of dolomite the solution will then become blue because of a complex forming with the magnesium from the dolomite. In the case of calcite this blue colour should be either absent or very weak because calcite commonly contains only little magnesium.
What is the outside color of a dolomite rock?
The outside of a dolomite rock can be many colors it just depends on the rock itself. (this was made by a freshman in high school so if this is wrong that take it out on yourself for believing it)

Can dolomite float?
Dolomite is denser than that water. Water has a density at room temperature of 0.9 grams repeated or 1.0 grams. Dolomite in a mass of cube is 2.84 grams, so it is denser than water, concluding, that it will sink in water.

What simple test can be used to distinguish between calcite and dolomite in granular form?
Calcite will react vigorously when placed in dilute HCL. Dolomite will not.
Is dolomite limestone?
Dolomite is a mixture of calcium and magnesium carbonates. The ratio of Ca:Mg can vary. If the Ca percentage is very high (above 90%), it is generally considered as calcite and if Mg is very high, it is considered as magnesite (not magnetite). Theoretically, dolomite should have 50:50 Ca:Mg ratio. Usually, dolomite is slightly resistive against weathering and diluted acids compared to calcite.
