Where can you get calcium carbonate from?

Origins. Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and accounts for about 4% of the Earth’s crust. It can be found in nature in three principal rock types: chalk, limestone, and marble.

What are the three types of calcium carbonate?

CALCIUM carbonate can exist in three polymorphic forms, which in the order of their usual stabilities are calcite, aragonite, and vaterite. Calcite is the most stable and the least soluble, and, therefore, the form in which calcium carbonate would be expected to precipitate from seawater.

What are the two types of calcium carbonate?

Two forms of calcium carbonate: calcite and aragonite.

What is the difference between limestone and calcium carbonate?

Limestone is made up of calcium carbonate, whereas dolomite is made of calcium magnesium carbonate and is less expensive than limestone. Another important difference is that sand, clay, and silt are commonly found in limestone as impurities, but these impurities are less commonly found in dolomite.

What happens when you mix calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid?

Metal carbonate reacts with an acid to form salt, carbon dioxide, and water. So, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form calcium chloride (CaCl2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
