M stands for the metal and HA stands for the strong acid where H is hydrogen and A is the anion (the other ion) of the acid.
MCO3 + HA --> MA + H20 + CO2
(H2CO3 is formed as the other product but it splits up into carbon dioxide and water). This is a double replacement reaction where the metal bonds with the anion of the acid and the hydrogen bonds with the carbonate ion. Also I didn't balance the equation but I think this should help you understand the concept.

Yes you usually make this e.g Copper Carbonate + Sulphuric Acid ? Copper Sulphate + Carbon Dioxide + Water

∙ 10y agoNo. Acid will generally react with metal to produce hydrogen. In order to produce carbon dioxide, and acid must react with a carbonate.

What chemicals are produced when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate or hydroxide?
Generally, when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate, the products, the reaction products are: water, carbon dioxide, and a salt specific to the metal and the acid, e.g: hydrochloric acid + sodium carbonate → sodium chloride + carbon dioxide + water. 2HCl + Na2CO3 → 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O Generally, when an acid reacts with a metal hydroxide, the products, the reaction products are: water, and a salt specific to the metal and the hydroxide, e.g: Cupric hydroxide + hydrochloric acid → Cupric chloride + water Cu(OH)2 + 2HCl → CuCl2 + 2H2O
What two substances would react with an acid to produce carbon dioxide gas?
Vinegar is a solution of a carboxylic acid (acetic acid) which means that most metal compounds (particulaly alkaline metal compounds found in group 1 in the periodic table) will react with it to produce salts, carbon dioxide and water. Sodium Carbonate is a common example of a alkaline metal compound that reacts readily with vinegar.
What is a mineral carbonate?
a metal carbonate is a metal that has reacted with another substance to form a metal carbonate (e.g Potassium carbonate [K2CO3]). When they react with an acid they produce A SALT+CO2+H2O.
How is Calcium carbonate used to neutralise acid emissions from power stations?
The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid as per any carbonate: Calcium Carbonate + Acid -> Calcium Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
Why does carbonate rocks react to acid?
A carbonate rock is known chemically as a carbonate salt. It has a metal cation ionically attracted to the carbonate anion. When a carbonate salt is placed in water, it will partially dissolve and some anions are formed. When acid is added, the carbonate reacts with the acid to form carbon dioxide and water. This means the anions that were in the water are no longer present. More of the salt dissolves in order to reach equilibrium and saturate the solution. However, the anions formed from that dissolution also react with the acid, and so forth until the entire rock (salt) is dissolved. The general reaction is as follows(where M is whatever metal is forming the rock with the carbonate): MCO2(S) + 2H+(aq) --> M2+(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
What is the word equation between acid and metal carbonate?
metal carbonate + acid = metal salt + carbon dioxide + water e.g. calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O +CO2
Is calcium carbonate carbonic acid?
No, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the calcium salt of carbonic acid (H2CO3). If a compound has the name of a metal in it (sodium, calcium, copper, etc) it is generally not an acid but a salt. A salt is formed when a metal ion or other positive ion takes the place of hydrogen in an acid.
The equation for metal carbonates and acid?
metal carbonate + acid --> salt + water + carbon dioxide
What happens when an acid reacts with metal carbonate?
the acid eats the meatl
How do you prove that given salt is carbonate of a metal?
it can be tested in the following way- metal carbonate+acid=metal salt+carbon dioxide+water
When a metal carbonate reacts with acid?
The resulting compounds of this reaction are a metal salt of the acid, water and carbon dioxide.
What is the general reaction for an acid and a carbonate?
The general reaction is Acid + Metal Carbonate -> Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water Hope this helps!
what are the three main bases which react with acid?
Metal carbonate Metal oxide Metal hydroxide
What happens when you further dissolve calcium carbonate in acid?
Metal Carbonate + Acid -> metal salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water e.g. 3CaCO3+ 2H3PO4 -> Ca3(PO4)2 + 3CO2 + 3H2O
What gas does hydrochloric acid and metal carbonate make?
carbon dioxide
What is the gas produce when you add acid to metal carbonate?
Carbon dioxide.
What type of gas is made when a metal carbonate reacts with an acid?
Carbon Dioxide
