AIM: To carry out a lab experiment to decompose a carbonate using heat‚ also to carry out appropriate tests for the formation of products as a result of this decomposition. DISSCUSION: Carbonates are decomposed by heat into the corresponding oxides and carbon dioxide. The temperature of decomposition depends upon the activity of the metal; that is to say‚ the more active the metal‚ the more stable is the carbonate. Thus‚ the carbonates of sodium and potassium are stable at the highest temperature

Carbonate Rocks and Dunham’s Classification Palkowski‚ Daniel N. 245-002 General Geology Dr. Wayne Schlipp 9 December 2007 Abstract The following contains a compendium of research on carbonate rocks. Displayed are a basic description of carbonate rocks‚ depositional environments‚ mineralogy‚ ancient and modern reefs‚ diagenesis‚ facies analysis‚ and classification. Most carbonate rock classification schemes take into account characteristics that may require intensive microscopic

Advantages: Sulfamic acid is the fastest de-scaler - It dissociates into hydroxonium ions more readily in aqueous solution than the others‚ therefore giving a greater concentration of atoms that are able to react with the calcium in lime scale. It is safe to use because it does not produce chlorine gas [5]‚ which can be toxic. Sulfamic acid also has a low volatility. Disadvantages: Sulfamic Acid can be an irritant to eyes or skin and is the most expensive of the de-scalers. Q2) How these de-scalers

investigation: The speed of a metal carbonate breaking down depends on where the metal is in the reactivity series. The more reactive a metal is the slower it takes for it to breakdown. The less reactive a metal is it breaks down faster. Explain the hypothesis using scientific ideas: The metal carbonate which is lower in the reactivity series such as copper can thermally decompose much faster because it is the least reactive metal so its an unstable carbonate and the bonds are much weaker. So

Give a conclusion‚ which describes why the mass of copper carbonate may have changed during your experiment. When the copper carbonate is heated it decomposes forming copper oxide and carbon dioxide. The copper carbonate turns into a bright

“Calcium Homeostasis” Kayla Smith Anatomy and Physiology I BSC 1085C Ref# 82458 Calcium plays a very significant role in our bodies. Approximately 99 percent of the calcium in our bodies is stored in the teeth and bones. Calcium generates about two percent of our total body weight. Calcium is crucial in bone formation‚ keeping strong bones and teeth and is known for helping to prevent osteoporosis. Although calcium is mostly thought about in the bones and teeth‚ it also plays important roles

Calcium in the body 10-09-10 Calcium is a mineral that is very important to the body. It is found in many different foods. Milk‚ yogurt‚ and cheese are well known sources of calcium. It is said that milk does a body good and that is because of the calcium in milk. Calcium is available as a dietary supplement. Carbohydrates and citrates are the two main forms of calcium in dietary supplements. Calcium has a lot to do with maintaining bone mass. An article titled Calcium: focus on foods and beverages

Homeostasis – Re: Calcium Homeostasis refers to a stable internal balance or an internal equilibrium within the human body. The body and its systems work together to keep itself in the state of balance‚ but it mostly refers to how the human body reacts to different changes and keep itself within certain guidelines to insure that it can properly function. These reactions include a range of responses‚ from the release of hormones to regulate internal balances to sweating to lower body temperature
