What is the chemical name for the mineral calcite?

Calcite is a form (polymorph) of calcium carbonate. This compound has the formula Ca2+CO32-. Calcium carbonate exists in other polymorphs as well. These are aragonite and vaterite.


Why can't calcium carbonate exist in a liquid state nor in the gaseous state?

In suitable conditiopns of temperature and pressure, not available here on Earth, it can exist as a liquid or a gas. However, here on Earth, in STP conditions. solid calcium carbonate decomposes on heating ( red glowing heat) directly into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Here is the reaction eq'n CaCO3(s) == heat==> CaO(s) + CO2(g).


Why do you get gas when you take calcium?

Calcium usually exists as calcium carbonate in pill form and when this compound reacts with the acids in your stomach, carbon dioxide is released. That CO2 is your gas.


What is CaCO3 at room temperature?

At room temperature (around 20°C), CaCO3 exists as a white solid known as calcium carbonate. It is insoluble in water but can react with acids to form calcium salts, carbon dioxide, and water. Calcium carbonate is commonly found in nature as limestone, chalk, and marble.


How many moles are there in 200 grams of Calcium Carbonate?

For a partly ionically bonded compound such as calcium carbonate, the gram formula mass is substituted for a mole, which technically exists only for purely covalently bonded compounds. The gram formula mass for calcium carbonate is 100.09. Therefore, 200 grams constitutes 200/100.09 or 2.00 gram formula masses of calcium carbonate, to the justified number of significant digits.


What mixed with calcium carbonate gives off ammonia?

Nothing I know of. Calcium carbonate is CaCO3--one atom each of calcium and carbon, three of oxygen. Ammonia is NH3--one of nitrogen, three of hydrogen. There is no element that exists in both compounds.


How carbon occurs in nature?

Carbon dioxide exists as a gas or in combined states to form Carbonates like Calcium carbonate(CaCO3) in limestone, or Zinc Carbonate(ZnCO3) in Calamine, etc.


How does carbon occur in nature?

What colour is calcium hydrogen carbonate?

AKA Calcium Bicarbonate at least as a solid. Calcium hydrogen carbonate only exists in an aqueous form, meaning it is only around while dissolved in water. And it is colorless in water, I would bet those nifty white water spots from hard water are the same stuff


What is the chemical equation for calcium hydrogen carbonate?

There cannot be a balanced chemical formula for just a compound of something. You need a reactant to produce a product in order to balance an equation. In this case, you can get a chemical formula by this chemical name: calcium hydrogen carbonate. Since calcium has a +2 charge and hydrogen carbonate has a -1 charge, you need two hydrogen carbonates for every one calcium ion. The chemical formula is: Ca(HCO3)2.


Which region can calcium be found in?

Calcium mostly exists as CaCO3 in Earth's crust and mantle (the 2nd region of earth beneath the crust). CaCO3 or Calcium carbonate is the main constituent of limestone and Marble. There are also large amounts of Gypsum CaSO4.


Why does calcium carbonate dissolve in acids but not water?

I am doing a science project on this right now! calcium carbonate dissolves in acid and not water because water just has no effect on it. Calcium carbonate is an ant-acid. that is why people with heartburn drink a lot of milk. In egg shells, CC exists as well. if you put the egg in vinegar for a week the shell is dissolved and turns to a rubber-like substance. so do bones-you can try a chicken bone too-and teeth. That is why dentists tell you not to eat acidic foods too. acids can sometimes be strong enough to dissolve ant-acids sometimes. thats just the way it is! sorry if this wasn't the right answer for you...keep looking! :) ;)
