Geochemistry Question:
Explain me which carbonate mineral reacts readily with cool dilute hydrochloric acid to produce visible bubbles of carbon dioxide gas?
Answer:
Many carbonate minerals will do this. However since this is a chemistry homework question – I’m guessing for GCSE – then almost certainly the answer they are looking for is calcium carbonate, because this equation often needs to be learnt and then perhaps balanced in an exam question.
