 Most carbonates are insoluble (can not be dissolved in water) except those containing sodium or potassium ions.

 Carbonates are mostly white solids, but copper carbonate is green.

 Most carbonates are insoluble (can not be dissolved in water) except those containing sodium or potassium ions.  Carbonates are mostly white solids, but copper carbonate is green.  Carbonates are basic because they react with acids.

 Copper carbonate is added to dilute sulfuric acid in a beaker

 Bubbles of gas appear and a blue solution forms

 Copper carbonate is added to dilute sulfuric acid in a beaker  Bubbles of gas appear and a blue solution forms  The reaction between copper carbonate and sulfuric acid is:

 Copper carbonate is added to dilute sulfuric acid in a beaker  Bubbles of gas appear and a blue solution forms  The reaction between copper carbonate and sulfuric acid is: CuCO 3 + H 2 SO 4  CuSO 4 + H 2 O + CO 2

 Copper carbonate is added to dilute sulfuric acid in a beaker  Bubbles of gas appear and a blue solution forms  The reaction between copper carbonate and sulfuric acid is: CuCO 3 + H 2 SO 4  CuSO 4 + H 2 O + CO 2  The salt formed is copper sulfate (or bluestone)

 Copper carbonate is added to dilute sulfuric acid in a beaker  Bubbles of gas appear and a blue solution forms  The reaction between copper carbonate and sulfuric acid is: CuCO 3 + H 2 SO 4  CuSO 4 + H 2 O + CO 2  The salt formed is copper sulfate (or bluestone)  In order to see this salt formed, we need to evaporate the solution over a bunsen burner.

CarbonateUses Sodium carbonate (also washing soda) Washing powder Glass manufacture Calcium carbonate (mined as marble, limestone, and chalk) As lime to reduce soil acidity Cement manufacture In the manufacture of iron Sodium hydrogen carbonate (also called baking soda) Raising agent in baking

 Compounds containing the hydrogen carbonate ion (HCO 3 - ) also reacts with acids.

 This is important in baking – raising agents such as baking soda and baking powder are used to make baking light.

 Compounds containing the hydrogen carbonate ion (HCO 3 - ) also reacts with acids.  This is important in baking – raising agents such as baking soda and baking powder are used to make baking light.  Baking soda contains sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO 3

 Compounds containing the hydrogen carbonate ion (HCO 3 - ) also reacts with acids.  This is important in baking – raising agents such as baking soda and baking powder are used to make baking light.  Baking soda contains sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO 3  When this is heated, it gives off CO 2 which causes the baking mixture to rise.
