Remember for ALL carbonates the general equation is
Acid +Carbonate = Salt + water + Carbon Dioxide.
So
Hydrochloric ACID + Zinc CARBONATE = Zinc Chloride(SALT) + WATER + CARBON DIOXIDE
Symbolically
2HCl(aq) + ZnCO3(s) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
NB If you inspect the the reaction equation you will find on BOTH sides of the reaction (reactants and products) :-
Hydrogen(H) x 2
Chlorine(Cl) x 2
Zinc)Zn) x 1
Carbon(C) x 1
Oxygen(O) x 3 ( As 3 & 1 + 2)
It OBEYS the Law of Conservation of Mass. Nothing is lost or gained (as if by magic), from other sources.
ZnCO3 + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2O + CO2
Meaning:
zinc carbonate + hydrochloric acid ---> Zinc chloride + carbon dioxide
Hydrochloric acid is HCL and Zinc Carbonate is ZnCO3
ZnCO3 + 2HCl = ZnCl2 + H2O + CO2
ZnO + 2HCl ===> ZnCl2 + H2O
lithium carbonate + hydrochloric acid ---> lithium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
The balanced word equation for copper carbonate and hydrochloric acid is: Copper Carbon Dioxide + hydrosulphate - coppersulphate + water + carbon dioxide
Li2CO3 + 2HCl --> 2LiCl + CO2 + H2O The gas formed would be carbon dioxide.
CaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
metal carbonate + acid = metal salt + carbon dioxide + water e.g. calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O +CO2
lithium carbonate + hydrochloric acid ---> lithium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
The balanced word equation for copper carbonate and hydrochloric acid is: Copper Carbon Dioxide + hydrosulphate - coppersulphate + water + carbon dioxide
Li2CO3 + 2HCl --> 2LiCl + CO2 + H2O The gas formed would be carbon dioxide.
CaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate ▬▬► calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
metal carbonate + acid = metal salt + carbon dioxide + water e.g. calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O +CO2
you can use the hydrochloric acid to differentiate between the zinc carbonate and zinc chloride as the zinc carbonate will give effervescence and the gas produced (carbon dioxide) turns lime water milky..and the zinc chloride will give no ppt
= Copper chloride + water + carbon dioxide
Caluim carbonate + Hydrochloric acid = Carcon dioxide + Calicum chloride + water
calcium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid= Calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
Calcium Chloride, water and carbon dioxide
A reaction between an acid and a carbonate gives a salt, water and carbon dioxide. So the word equation is: acid + carbonate -----> salt + carbon dioxide + water eg: hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate ----> calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water See: http://www.sky-web.net/science/reaction-types.htm
