"Salt" is the common name for sodium chloride, used in cookery etc.

In chemistry a salt is produced by the reaction of an acid with an hydroxide- in the case of sodium chloride the acid is hydrochloric acid and the hydroxide is sodium hydroxide.

Calcite, calcium carbonate, CaCO3, is als a salt- and is precipitated when calcium hydroxide is reacted with carbonic acid, H2CO3

Is CaCO3 an acid?

CaCO3 is calcium carbonate, which is a chemical salt.


Why is CaCO3 a salt?

CaCO3 is considered a salt because it is a compound formed from the reaction between a metal (calcium) and a non-metal (carbon and oxygen). Salts are generally formed by the combination of a cation (positively charged ion) and an anion (negatively charged ion), which is the case with CaCO3 where calcium is the cation and carbonate is the anion.

Calcium carbonate is a salt - CaCO3.


How calcium carbonate salt is formed?

It's a 2 step reaction. CaCO3 is the Calcium Carbonate: CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O

I was recently at the fish store and the salesman said that the reason for the high alkalinity in my tank was due to shells made of calcium. Why would Calcium be making my water more basic?

# The shells aren't made of calcium, they're made of calcium carbonate. # Calcium carbonate is the salt of a strong base and a weak acid, and is therefore weakly alkaline. I understand that you can make CaCO3 by the following process: HCO3 + CaOH => CaCO3 +H2O But once you have made CaCO3 ( a slightly alkaline salt) from the acid and base, what is happening to the CaCO3 in the H2O that is making the water more basic? In other words, how can CaCO3 have anything to do with the lone OH- ions present in the water?


What is the name of the salt that is formed when limestone dissolves in hydrochloric acid?

What is the grams of substance in 4.5 moles CaCO3?

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 66.1221g CaCO3/mole CaCO3. This means that 1 mole CaCO3 = 66.1221g CaCO3. To find the mass of 4.5 mole CaCO3, complete the following calculation: 4.5g CaCO3 X 1mol CaCO3/66.1221g CaCO3 = 0.068 mole CaCO3.


Does calcite have salt in it?

No, calcite does not contain salt. Calcite is a mineral composed of calcium carbonate, while salt typically refers to sodium chloride. They are different chemical compounds with distinct compositions.


What is formed when HCl is mixed with CaCo3?

CaCl2(Calcium Chloride)and H2CO3(Carbonic acid) are formed and as H2CO3 is very unstable and weak so it turns into H2O(water) and CO2 (Carbon-di-oxide).The reactions are :CaCO3 +2HCl =CaCl2+H2CO3H2CO3=H2O+CO2firstly this is a nuetralisation reaction between a strong acid and a base. when a carbonates reacts with other elements it forms a salt, water and carbon dioxide. the salt formed is calcium choride which is a white powdered substance
