Chapter 15, Problem 73CE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Balanced chemical equation for reaction between calcium carbonate and $\text{HCl}$ has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Reaction with acids may include several variations such as neutralization. Neutralization reaction involves concentration of an acid and base that generates a salt from the cation and anion substrates along with removal of water. For instance reaction amongst $\text{NaOH}$ and $\text{HCl}$ is as follows:

  $\text{NaOH}+\text{HCl}\to \text{NaCl}+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}$

Thus reaction between basic carbonate and acid to form salt and water is neutralization. Similarly, with alkaline hydrogen carbonates and acids, salt and carbon dioxide is released.
