Question

Mark and Amanda conduct the same investigation as Nguyen, but they use four rocks. They test the same three rocks as Nguyen but add one more rock that has the same color and density as limestone. However, the rock doesn't produce bubbles when acid is added to it. Explain how the mineral composition of this rock compares with that of limestone?

Answer 1

no,exept y and z are similar

Step-by-step explanation:

litterly what it says '-'

Answer 2

The Rock does not contain carbonate in it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Limestone(CaCO_3) when reacts with a acid produces carbon dioxide, which comes out as bubbles in the solution. It means the 4th rock does not have carbonate in it. Carbonate minerals are unstable in contact with hydrochloric acid. When acid begins to effervesce (fizz) on a specimen. These bubbles confirms the presence of carbonate in mineral.
