    This document provides information about the physical properties of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. Calcium carbonate is a white, odorless powder with low solubility in water and a hardness of 3. It has moderate malleability and low ductility. Magnesium hydroxide is also a white, odorless powder with low solubility in water and very low malleability and ductility, making it very brittle with a hardness of 2.
