"This is one of the first demonstrations of microbial dissolution of calcium carbonate at a higher pH," said Karrie Weber, professor of biological sciences and Earth and atmospheric sciences.

One of the most common chemicals connected to calcium is called “carbonate”, and together they make calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is in eggshells, seashells, a rock called marble, and in ...

"Adding our product would eliminate the need for liming," Kanan explained, referring to a process of using calcium carbonate to help balance soil pH levels. He added, "... as calcium silicate ...

Ocean acidification can negatively affect marine life, causing organisms' shells and skeletons made from calcium carbonate to dissolve. The more acidic the ocean, the faster the shells dissolve. By ...

In this reaction we will investigate the reaction between ethanoic acid and calcium carbonate. All acids produce carbon dioxide gas when reacted with a metal carbonate.
