When acids react with a carbonate or a hydrogencarbonate (or a metal carbonate or a metal hydrogencarbonate) carbon dioxide, water and a salt solution is produced. That is:
acid + metal --> carbon dioxide + water + salt solution
An example is the following ionic equation:
CH3COOH(aq) + NaHCO3(s) --> CO2(g) + H2O(l) + Na+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)
You can see this reaction occur when you mix vinegar with some bicarbonate soda (sodium hydrogencarbonate), which is the reaction they use in those little volcanoes you make in the school sand pit ahahaha lol this answer is from Jennifer and by the way She rules jk i suck

∙ 13y agoWhen acids react with carbonates, salt, water and carbon dioxide are produced.
An example would be
2HCl + CaCO3 -----> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The more general ionic equation is CO32- + 2H+ ------> CO2 + H2O

∙ 11y agoYes, almost all acids will react with carbonate when they are at least stronger than Hydrogen carbonate acid (HCO3-) which is a very weak one (pKa=10.25).

Like this. Producing a salt, carbon dioxide gas and water.

What rock weathers most rapidly when exposed to acid rain?
Carbonates such as limestone react with acids and so are weathered very quickly. It doesn't need even to be polluted rain, as it reacts with even the carbonic acid present all the time in rain.
How does rhyolite react to acid?
Rhyolite does not react with acid. Igneous rocks in general rarely react with acid.
Does tin react with citric acid?
Tin can not only react with citric acid, it can react with any acid.
What is the name of the gas that is produced when carbonates react with acid?
Carbon dioxide gas is produced when a carbonate reacts with an acid.A reaction between an acid and a carbonate forms a salt, carbon dioxide and water as the only products.acid+ carbonate -------> salt+ carbon dioxide + waterExample:Nitric acid and sodium carbonate ---> sodium nitrate and carbon dioxide and water2HNO3 + Na2CO3 ---> 2NaNO3 + CO2 + H2O
Do opals react to acid?
it depends on how strong the acid is
What do all carbonates react with?
Carbonates react with hydrochloric acid.
Is hydrochloric acid the only acid which reacts with carbonates?
No, any strong acid will react with carbonates.
What reacts with carbonates a base or an acid?
As carbonates are mildly basic, anything acid will react with them (releasing carbon dioxide gas).
What do carbonates do when you add acid into them?
The carbonates will react with acid to form carbon dioxide, a gas which turns lime water cloudy, water, and a salt.
What salt will be made when any carbonates reacts with hydrochloric acid?
when any carbonates react with hydrochloric acid will be i.e. sodium carbonate+hydrochloric acid =sodium chloride
This gas is given off when acid react with carbonates?
carbon dioxide
Does a base react with carbonates?
Bases dont really react with carbonates, but acid does.
What happens when acids react with compounds made of carbonets?
the acid eats away at carbonates
Do all rocks react with hydrochloric acid?
Basalt doesn't react with acid. Igneous rocks in general rarely react with acid.
What acids make carbonates?
The acid that makes carbonates is carbonic acid.
How do bases react to carbonates?
Using Lewis's theory of acids and bases, an acid is an electron pair acceptor, while a base is an electron pair donor.As, 2 donors can't react... Bases do not react with each otherAs, Carbonates and Hydrogencarbonates are basic in nature they don't react with bases...So in short they don't react
Why does baking powder contain carbonates and an acid?
When moist, the acid is able to react with the carbonates to create carbon dioxide gas, which creates tiny bubles in the mixture, making the cake very light, rather than solid or stodgy.
