About This Product
The reagent is used to demonstrate gas evolution: acid is added slowly so that foaming and carbon dioxide release stay under control. It can also be stirred into water to make a suspension, which leads into lessons on insoluble solids, precipitation and solid-liquid separation. Dust is avoided and eye protection is worn while handling. Export supply of the Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Scientific Reagent can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Togo, Mozambique, Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Eritrea.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What happens when acid is added to calcium carbonate?
The carbonate reacts and carbon dioxide gas is released, often with foaming. Adding the acid slowly keeps the reaction controlled.
