carbonate
carbonate Salt of carbonic acid, formed when carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water. Carbonic acid is an extremely weak acid and both it and many of its salts are unstable, decomposing readily to release CO2. Nevertheless, large parts of the Earth's crust are made up of carbonates, such as calcium carbonate and dolomite.
