Question

Calcium carbonate (limestone, CaCO3) dissolves inhydrochloric acid, producing water and carbon dioxide. Anunbalanced net ionic equation for this reaction is givenbelow. Balance it. CaCO3 (s) + H3O+ (aq) --->   H2O (l) + CO2 (g) +Ca2+ (aq) Calcium carbonate (limestone, CaCO3) dissolves inhydrochloric acid, producing water and carbon dioxide. Anunbalanced net ionic equation for this reaction is givenbelow. Balance it. CaCO3 (s) + H3O+ (aq) --->   H2O (l) + CO2 (g) +Ca2+ (aq)

Explanation / Answer

CaCO3 (s) + 2H3O+ (aq) --->   3H2O (l) + CO2 (g) +Ca2+ (aq) Hope this helps!
