Answer:
It is basic in nature as it is a matal carbonate and metal carbonates are always basic.
Answer: The nature of CaCO₃ is basic.
Explanation:
When Ca(OH)₂, a strong base reacts with CO₂ a weak acid, it yields CaCO₃(precipitate)-mildly basic salt, and water. This reaction is called the Carbonatation reaction.
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) is a salt obtained from the reaction of a strong base and weak acid. Therefore, it is mildly basic in nature. Its ph is slightly greater than 7.
CaCO₃ is also known as limestone. Lime or CaO is extracted from limestone. Their crystals are also referred to as calcite.
It cannot be acidic or neutral since here acid part which is the carbonate ion is derived from a weak acid and the Calcium ion is obtained from a strong base.
