does dolomite mineral fizzes in acid
Some rocks contain carbonate minerals and the acid test can be used to help identify them. Limestone is composed almost entirely of calcite and will produce a vigorous fizz with a drop of hydrochloric acid. Dolostone is a rock composed of almost entirely of dolomite.n the left side of this reaction the mineral calcite (CaCO 3) is in contact with hydrochloric acid (HCl). These react to form carbon dioxide gas (CO 2), water (H 2 O), dissolved calcium (Ca ++) and dissolved chlorine (Cl --).
