Best Answer

It depends on how much of those reactants you use. You can predict the proportions, however, by looking at the balanced equation:

Ca + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + H2

The reactants and products are all in a 1:1 molar ratio. Some simple stoichiometry will get you actual mass/volume amounts.

Those compounds produce hydrogen (gas) and calcium chloride (salt)


What gases could have evolved during the reaction of sulfuric acid and metal?

Hydrogen. Acid plus metal is always hydrogen.


What is sulfuric acid plus francium?

Metal+Acid=Metal Salt+ Hydrogen i.e. Francium + Sulphuric Acid = Francium Sulphate + Hydrogen


Does hydrogen gas liberate when metals react with carbonic acid?

By definition metals above hydrogen should react with acids to produce hydrogen and a metal salt when mixed, but carbonic acid is a weak acid and it won't react as much like sulfuric acid.


What is the word equation for hydrochloric acid and calcium?

Calcium+hydrochloric acid = calcium chloride+ hydrogen the base for any equation is metal+acid=hydrogen+salt


What is formed when metal reacts with acid?

Product will be metal salt and hydrogen Ex.) Hydrochloric acid and zinc ---> zinc chloride and hydrogen 2HCl + Zn ---> ZnCl2 + H2 Sulphuric acid + magnesium ---> magnesium sulphate and hydrogen H2SO4 + Mg ---> MgSO4 + H2 Ethanoic acid and calcium ---> calcium ethanoate and hydrogen (Acetic acid and calcium ---> calcium acetate and hydrogen , using the older names) 2CH3COOH + Ca---> Ca(OOCCH3)2 + H2


Why is barium more reactive with water than calcium?

Barium metal reacts with water to produce barium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, according to the following equation: Ba(s) + 2 H2O(l) -> Ba2+(aq) + 2 OH-(aq) + H2(g) Some metals react with dilute acids, such as sulfuric acid, produsing a salt solution and hydrogen gas. However, if barium metal is added to water a layer of insolube barium sulfate forms at the surface, according to the equation: Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) -> BaSO4(s) As an aside, calcium behaves in a similar manner. If you don;t have ready access to calcium metal, then this can be observed by placing an egg into quite dilute solutions of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. In hydrochloric acid, the egg shell (mostly calcium carbonate) is removed. However, in sulfuric acid the reactions does not proceed due to the formation of insoluble calcium sulfate at the surface of the egg shell.


What gas is produced when calcium metal is dropped in water?

HYdrogen. The Group (II) Alkaline Earth elements, of which calcium is one, react in a similar way the Group (I) Alkali metals, but less vigorously. So like sodium and water produces sodium hydroxide and hydrogen . # Then calcium and water produce calcium hydroxide and hydrogen. Here is the reaction eq'n. Ca(s) + 2H2O(l) = Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g) .


What metal is left when zinc reacts with sulfuric acid?

This reaction yields zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas.


Why is there no effervesence seen after few seconds between the reaction of calcium and sulfuric acid?

The escape of hydrogen gas is stopped by the occlusive layer of solid, precipitated CaSO4 formed at the reaction surface (interphase) of Ca metal with liquid H2SO4 .
