Question

What is calcium carbonate and its chemical formula?

Answer 1

Ca is calcium. CO3 is carbon. this makes the finishes product calcium carbonate

Answer 2

CaCO3 is Calcium carbonate ,the main constituent of chalk,marbles, limestone , snail shells etc. . The main cause of hardwater. This is a white solid ( powder).. On the other hand,CaO is calcium oxide popularly called quicklime or burnt lime this is a white crystalline solid.. If you heat CaCO3 to about 825 degree centigrade, it decomposes to give CaO and gaseous CO2 is also released.. . Hope this is good enough for what u need! If you need some more I recommend wikipedia. just google and it will turn up!

Answer 9

Calcium Carbonate. CO3 (-2) is an ion caled carbonate, just like (SO4) (-2) is a sulphate.

Answer 10

A lot of people have told you it is calcium carbonate which is correct. It is an ionic compound with each molecule made from a Ca ++ ion (positive charge 2) and a carbonate ion (CO3)-- (negative charge two). The Carbon and 3 Oxygen atoms in the carbonate ion are held together by covalent forces. The Ca ion and Carbonate ion are held together ionic (charge) attraction. Hope that helps a bit more.
