Write an equation when an acid reacts with metal carbonate

1.	Write an equation when an acid reacts with metal carbonate
Answer» Answer: (a) When an acid reacts with a metal CARBONATE, then a salt, carbon dioxide gas and water are produced. Example: When DILUTE hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium carbonate, then sodium chloride, carbon dioxide gas and water are formed. NA Na 2 Na 2 Na 2 CO Na 2 CO 3 Na 2 CO 3 Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCL(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 (g)+H Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 (g)+H 2 Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 (g)+H 2 Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 (g)+H 2 O(I)

Answer:

(a) When an acid reacts with a metal CARBONATE, then a salt, carbon dioxide gas and water are produced.

Example: When DILUTE hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium carbonate, then sodium chloride, carbon dioxide gas and water are formed.

Na 2

Na 2 CO

Na 2 CO 3

Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCL(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO

Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2

Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 (g)+H

Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 (g)+H 2

Na 2 CO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+CO 2 (g)+H 2 O(I)
