What else can I help you with?
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
How do you calcite from halite?
To separate calcite from halite, you would typically use a method based on their differing solubilities in water. Halite (sodium chloride) dissolves easily in water, while calcite (calcium carbonate) is much less soluble. By adding water to a mixture of the two, halite will dissolve, and calcite will remain as a solid. The solution can then be filtered to remove the dissolved halite, leaving behind the calcite.
Which mineral can form when a large pool of seawater slowly evaporates?
It will depend in what is in the water, in general it will be the solids that have been dissolved, but they will come out as crystals if evaporated slowly. in general it will be salt and/or limescale (calcium carbonate) as they are easily soluble
What mineral can halite scratch?
Halite can scratch gypsum.
Halite reaction to HCl?
Halite does not react with HCl.
Which mineral are salts?
Common examples are: calcite, calcium carbonate, halite, sylvite, gypsum etc.

Does Calcite and halite react with dilute acids to evolve carbon dioxide?
Yes, calcite (calcium carbonate) reacts with dilute acids to evolve carbon dioxide. However, halite (sodium chloride) does not react with dilute acids to evolve carbon dioxide.
The mineral which effervesces in the acid you use in lab is?
Minerals with the calcium carbonate compound show effervescence. Calcite is the most common carbonate mineral.

What is the odor of halite?
Halite, also known as rock salt, is odorless. It does not have a distinctive smell.
Is halite a crystal?
Halite is a mineral with a crystalline structure.
What is the description of halite?
Halite is a type of mineral or salt.
Halite reaction to HCl?
