Which type of scientist makes use of the reaction of carbonates with acids?

Answer 1

pharmaceutical scientists and physicians - carbonates are often used as antacids

geologists - acid test used to determine if a sample is a carbonate

synthetic chemists - carbonates are used to neutralize acids during purification procedures and also deprotonation reactions

Answer 2

Uh, almost nobody. Other than the standard "look, a volcano" type science-fair project made out of baking soda (a carbonate) and vinegar (an acid), and the fact that this is what causes the bubbles in soft-drinks, that reaction is useless. Maybe possibly a materials scientist studying sheet-rock.
