CARBONATES ammonium carbonate barium carbonate bismuth carbonate cadmium carbonate calcium carbonate cobalt (II) carbonate copper (II) carbonate lead (II) carbonate lithium carbonate magnesium carbonate nickel (II) carbonate potassium carbonate potassium hydrogen carbonate sodium carbonate sodium hydrogen carbonate strontium carbonate zinc carbonate	-	-	-	- -	The carbonate ion is not toxic in itself. Toxicity depends on the cation present, especially heavy metals, (e.g. lead in lead carbonate). Metal carbonates are commonly used to study activity series of metals and the nature of the carbonate ion, in reactions with acids (forming a metal salt and carbon dioxide), heated to decomposition (forming the metal oxide, carbon dioxide and sometimes oxygen) and in redox reactions – including the formation of precipitates. Disposal: Carbonate solutions (not containing heavy metals) may disposed of down the sink (to sewer). Ensure the solution pH is 8-10. Also see Appendix E
