Question

I need help with a gen chem lab. I mixed CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) and HCl (hydrochloride) together and had to record what happened. When the two chemicals were combined, the reaction was that is it fizzed. I need help filling in the information. If you can give complete details of how you got the answer, that would be GREAT!!

Net Ionic equation: ?

Explanation / Answer

molecular equation =

CaCO3 + 2HCl ----> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2...............CO2 is what fizzed


Products formed are

Calcium Chloride CaCl2

Carbon di oxide CO2


total ionic =

Ca2+ + CO3^2- + 2H+ + 2Cl- ----> Ca2+ + 2Cl- + H2O + CO2


net ionic =

2H+(aq) + CO3-2(aq) --> H2O(l) + CO2(g)
