What three tests can you use to distinguish halite from colorless calcite?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Halite is sodium chloride and calcite is calcium carbonate so there are several differences between them:
- halite is soluble in water, calcite is not.
- calcite fizzes if you put acid on it, halite doesn't
- calcite forms trigonal crystals whereas halite is cubic

Both calcite and quartz can be found as clear crystals what tests can be used to correctly identify them?
Quartz would scratch the calcite. Calcite would not scratch the quartz. Calcite will react with dilute hydrochloric acid. Quartz will not. Calcite will exhibit double refraction. Quartz will not. If the crystal forms are intact, quartz crystal may appear six sided with pyramidal terminations. If they are of equal size, the quartz will be heavier.
