ah simple the hydochloric acid will fizz up and the hydrochloric acid will turn from a transparent colour to a murky white colour and you will find bubbles at the end of the test tube. now to make it really exciting what you have to do is:
-fill a test tube up with water
-then get a bucket full of water(or a smaller container)
- place your thumb firmly over the end of the test tube and turn it upside down making sure that no water comes out
- place the test tube in the container full of water (still upside down, with your thumb over the end)
- and only once the end of the test tube is fully submerged can you remove your thumb
leave it there and do not do anything!!!
- next get another test tube that is about a third full of hydrochloric acid
-place about 4 small chips of magnesium in with the hydrochloric acid
-put a transferring pipe over the end and place the tube into the bucket of water
as you will noticee there will be small bubbles coming out of the end of the tube
-position the pipe so the bubbles go up into the submerged test tube that is full of water.
-once the test tube seems as though there is nothing left in it place your hand in the bucket and re place your thumb over the end of the test tube
- then remove the test tube from the water with your thumb still firmly pushed onto the end.
dont worry last few instructions!!!!!
- light a match/splint and place it over your thumb
be careful not to burn yourself!!!
-lastly remove your thumb
once you have done this post back and tell me kinda noice you here.

ProfessorYes, the size of marble chips can affect the rate of reaction with hydrochloric acid. Smaller marble chips will react faster as they have a greater surface area, allowing more acid to come in contact with the marble, thus leading to a faster reaction. Conversely, larger marble chips will react slower due to their smaller surface area exposed to the acid.
Marble chips are mostly made up of Calcium carbonate, which is a alkaline compound. Being alkaline, it reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce Calcium chloride, water and Carbon dioxide. Calcium chloride is white, Water and Carbon dioxide are colourless. This is the balanced equation for this reaction:
CaCO3 + 2 HCl ----> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Does marble Fizz in hydrocloric acid?
Yes, marble will fizz when placed in hydrochloric acid due to a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide gas. This reaction between the acid and the calcium carbonate in marble causes bubbles to form, resulting in the fizzing.
Which salt is produced when copper oxide reacts with hydrchloric acid?
Copper chloride is produced when copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid.
Is marble an acid?
No, marble is not an acid. Marble is a metamorphic rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is a base, not an acid.
What happens when an acid falls on a marble?
When an acid falls on marble, it can react with the calcium carbonate in the marble, causing it to dissolve and form bubbles of carbon dioxide gas. This reaction erodes the surface of the marble, leading to etching and loss of shine. Over time, the acid can damage and deteriorate the marble if not cleaned and neutralized promptly.
How could dilute hydrochloric acid be used to tell Quartz site from marble?
Dilute hydrochloric acid can be used to distinguish quartz from marble by conducting a simple acid test. When a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid is applied to quartz, there will be no visible reaction since quartz is resistant to acid. On the other hand, if the acid is applied to marble, it will fizz or bubble due to the reaction with the calcium carbonate in the marble, indicating that the rock is marble.
