A precipitated alkaline earth metal carbonate is produced by calcining raw alkaline earth metal carbonate, for example a calcium carbonate, under conditions such that substantially all the chemically combined carbon dioxide is driven off to form an oxide, slaking the oxide in water to form a suspension of the corresponding alkaline earth metal hydroxide, allowing the suspension to cool to 45° C. or below, and then carbonating the hydroxide in suspension in water with substantially pure carbon dioxide in the presence of a dithionite bleaching reagent to form a precipitate of an alkaline earth metal carbonate of increased brightness and purity. The precipitate may then be separated from the aqueous medium by, for example, filtration.
Taking carbonate (CO3^2-) as 60 g/mole, the equivalent mass of metal would be 60/2 = 30 since carbonate is 2- anion
When copper carbonate reacts with potassium, it forms copper metal and potassium carbonate. This reaction is a redox reaction where copper is reduced and potassium is oxidized.
MeCO3 where Me is a metal.
Sodium Carbonate Potassium carbonate Lithium carbonate Magnesium carbonate
No. Calcite is a carbonate mineral.
no
Magnesium carbonate is a metal carbonate that does not decompose easily at room temperature or below.
No, it is not. Calcium is a metal but calcium carbonate is not.
Calcium is a metal
The word equation for the reaction between acid and metal carbonate is acid + metal carbonate → salt + water + carbon dioxide.
metal carbonate + acid = metal salt + carbon dioxide + water e.g. calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O +CO2
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is a metal carbonate that is soluble in water. It forms a basic solution upon dissolving in water.
To prove that a salt is a carbonate of a metal, you can add an acid to the salt. If carbon dioxide gas is produced, it indicates the presence of a carbonate. This can be further confirmed by testing the gas with limewater; if it turns milky, it confirms the presence of carbon dioxide, which suggests the salt is a carbonate of a metal.
When a metal carbonate reacts with an acid, the products are a salt, carbon dioxide gas, and water. The salt formed will depend on the specific metal in the carbonate and the acid used in the reaction.

When copper carbonate reacts with potassium, it forms copper metal and potassium carbonate. This reaction is a redox reaction where copper is reduced and potassium is oxidized.
Experimentally to prove that, capture the gas and pass it through lime water. If the lime water turns milky then the gas is CO2 . Or an example of equation for decomposition of a metal carbonate is :- MgCO3 + heat ------> MgO + CO2
