Chemicals from Calcium Carbonate
Subjects / Chemistry / Patterns of Behaviour in Elements and Compounds
This title is all about the chemistry of calcium carbonate. This is a naturally occurring mineral that can take many different forms. Most often, it is quarried as the sedimentary rock limestone. Calcium carbonate is a very versatile compound that can be used for many different things, as we will learn. We will also examine in detail some of the chemical reactions that calcium carbonate is involved in.
