CARBONATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Carbonate is a chemical compound consisting of the carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) combined with a metal ion or a radical. It is composed of carbon, oxygen, and other elements. Carbonate compounds are commonly found in nature in the form of minerals, such as limestone, dolomite, and marble. The carbonate ion itself is a polyatomic ion with a molecular formula of CO₃²⁻, consisting of one carbon atom bonded to three oxygen atoms.

    In chemistry, carbonates are known for their ability to react with acids to produce carbon dioxide gas, a process called carbonation. This reaction occurs when the carbonate ion reacts with a hydrogen ion from the acid, forming carbon dioxide gas and water. This property has a wide range of applications, such as in the carbonation of beverages and the production of baking powder and antacids.

    In geology, carbonates are essential components of sedimentary rocks, often forming extensive layers that are rich in fossils and have significant economic value. Calcium carbonate, for instance, is the main component of limestone, which is used for construction, cement production, and as a soil conditioner in agriculture.

    Overall, carbonates are versatile compounds with diverse applications in various fields including chemistry, geology, and industry. Their presence in natural resources makes them significant both economically and scientifically.

  2. A compound formed by the union of carbonic acid with a base, &c.
