Best Answer

Copper carbonate + Hydrochloric acid ----->Copper chloride + Carbonic acid.

CuCO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq)-------->CuCl2(aq) + H2CO3 (aq)

Carbonic acid splits to form water and carbon dioxide.

H2CO3 (aq)--------> H2O (l) + CO2 (aq)

So the reaction could also be written as:

CuCO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq)-------->CuCl2(aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (aq)

This type of a reaction is known as a single displacement reaction.
