Chapter 16, Problem 151AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The metal thatreacts with $\text{HCl}$ in the form of a metal carbonate is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Strong acids and bases react together to neutralize each other completely and producesalt and water.

$\text{Acid}+\text{Base}\to \text{salt}+\text{water}$

Molarity $\left(M\right)$ is the concentration of any solution defined as the ratio of number of moles $\left(n\right)$ of solute and volume of the solution $\left(V\right)$ in liters.

$M=\frac{n}{V}$…… (1)

Number of moles $\left(n\right)$ is the ratio of the given mass $\left(m\right)$ of the substance and its molar mass $\left(\text{MM}\right)$.

$n=\frac{m}{\text{MM}}$…… (2)
