What is the symbol equation for hydrochloric acid reacting with calcium carbonate?

Answer 1

Here is the BALANCED symbol reaction Eq'n.

2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) = CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

In words; Two moles of hydrochloric Acid (HCl) reacts with one mole of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to produce one mole of calcium chloride(CaCl2), one mole of water(H2O), and one mole of carbon dioxide(CO2).

Further symbols ;-

(aq) = aqueous ( in solution).

(s) = solid

(l) = liquid

NB for all acid and carbonate reactions, the products are a 'salt' , water and carbon dioxide.

(g) = gas.

Answer 2

HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
