Question

The main component found in chalk and marble is.

  1. Calcium oxide
  2. Sodium chloride
  3. Lime
  4. Calcium carbonate

hintHint:

The formula is CaCO3.

The correct answer is: Calcium carbonate


    The correct option is d)Calcium carbonate.
    They are composed of the same substance calcium carbonate, but are formed in different ways.
    Chalk forms from microscopic algae shells in deep-sea environments. Algae thrive near the surface, but die and fall to the bottom.
    Marble is a modified form of limestone. That is, under heat and pressure, crystals grow and combine to create a stronger rock that is better suited as a building material.

    The compound which is used as a grinding stone to cut and sharpen tools is:

    The correct option is c)Silicon carbide.
    Silicon carbide, an artificial compound of silicon and carbon with a Mohs hardness of 9.5, is commonly used to cut softer gemstones. It is also used as a grinding stone to cut and even to sharpen tools. Diamond, the hardest natural substance, has a Mohs hardness of 10 and is used as an abrasive for cutting and polishing a variety of materials, including diamond itself.

    In the laboratory preparation of carbon monoxide, hydrochloric acid is only used although sulfuric acid reacts with calcium carbonate in the same way as HCl. However, the sulfuric acid is never used because:
    (i). Insoluble calcium sulfate formed during this reaction
    (ii). Calcium sulfate covers the marble chips and stops the reaction.
    (iii). The reaction is a highly exothermic reaction
    (iv). To react both of the reactants, many temperature conditions need to be fulfilled
