Answer:

Magnesium carbonate doesn't dissolve in water, only acid, where it will effervesce (bubble).

Step-by-step explanation:

An insoluble metal carbonate reacts with a dilute acid to form a soluble salt. Magnesium carbonate, a white solid, and dilute sulfuric acid react to produce magnesium sulfate. Colourless magnesium sulfate heptahydrate crystals are obtained from this solution.
