Respuesta :
A mineral will fizz if it will produce carbondioxide on reaction with HCl
quartz in a mineral of silicon so it will not produce fizz
fluortie is CaF2, so it could not produce CO2 on reaction with HCl
Gold, for sure cannot product CO2
Calcite is CaCO3
it reacts with HCl as
CaCO3 + 2HCl ===> CO2(g) (fizz) + CaCl2 + H2O
This is in fact a test for presence of calcite ore
