    What do you mean exactly by an 'acid carbonate'?

    Do you mean carbonic acid, ?

    If so, the usual acid base reaction takes place.

    Or do you mean metals with acidic properties bonded to carbonate? Like maybe aluminium?

    Those will not react because carbonate is a strong conjugate base (as carbonic acid is a weak acid) and will not react to bases, but acids.
