Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) Patrick Hakim
Hakim, Patrick
Calcium Carbonate
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is a ternary ionic compound (meaning more than two different elements) and composed of calcium (Ca) and the polyatomic ion carbonate (CO3). It naturally occurs in more than 4% of the Earth's crust in the form of chalk, limestone and marble. It is also used paper, plastics, paints, and coatings due to it's white color and brightness. In construction, it is used by itself as marble or limestone, but can also be made into mortar. It also is used in everyday life in the form of baking powder, toothpaste, dry-mix dessert mixes, dough, and wine.

Phosphoric Acid - Brandon Coats
Phosphoric Acid - This is a acid because it includes hydrogen. The formula for this acid is H3PO4 .
Its Molar mass is 98 g/mol. Its melting point is a 108.2 degrees Fahrenheit. It boils at 316.4 degrees Fahrenheit and is soluble in water.
Phosphoric acid is found in detergents and soda. Phosphoric acid can remove rust as well. If you leave it on a surface such as tile for at least an hour, it will break down and loosen mineral deposits, making the rust easy to just wipe away.
