Although sodium carbonate is needed in the manufacture of glass, very little is found in nature. It is made using two very abundant chemicals, calcium carbonate (marble) and sodium chloride (salt). The process involves many steps, but the overall reaction is...

Calcium oxide (CaO, lime, quicklime, unslaked lime) is differentiated from calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2, slaked lime, hydrated lime] and limestone (CaC03, calcite, calcium carbonate, marble chips, chalk) by formula and by behavior. A saturated solution of calcium oxide in water is called limewater and a suspension in water is called milk of lime. 

Experiment 48. Supplies Test tubes, dilute sulphuric, nitric, and hydrochloric acids, acetic acid, glass rod, litmus paper (both colors), zinc, calcium carbonate (marble), lime water. 

In practice, the cheap calcium carbonate (marble dust) is used, and the above method for the preparation of benzaldehyde is, as far as possible, an imitation of the technical process used for obtaining the substance-From benzylchloride, benzaldehyde may also be prepared directly by boiling it with water in the presence of lead nitrate or copper nitrate. From the benzylchloride, benzyl alcohol is first formed, which is oxidised by the nitrate to benzaldehyde-... 

The content of aggressive CO2 can be determined by the Heyer marble test. In this case aggressive CO2 dissolves calcium carbonate (marble) to form hydrogen carbonate and thus the acid neutralization capacity of water increases up to pH 4.5 (total alkalinity). The increase of the acid neutralization capacity is proportional to the content of the originally present aggressive CO2 [14, 21]. 

Stoichiometric quantities of cupric chloride, calcium carbonate (marble) and water are allowed to react in a bomb tube for 48 hours at 200°C. The product is filtered, freed from unreacted CuCls by washing with boiling alcohol, and dried in a desiccator. 

Increasing the surface area of a solid-phase reactant in a reaction between a solid and a liquid will enhance the rate of reaction. This is because the reaction takes place at the boundary between the two phases, that is, on the sohd surface. Commonly, the effect of increasing surface area in the reaction between calcium carbonate (marble chips) and hydrochloric acid (see equation, page 149) is used as an investigation. Other reactions also illustrate the same point. 

In many reactions, one of the reactants is a solid. The reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate (marble chips) is one example. Carbon dioxide gas is produced ... 

Take good quality 40% formaldehyde solution and decant the clear liquid from any precipitate. Store the solution in a well-stoppered dark glass bottle to which have been added a few small calcium carbonate (marble) chips.
