What will be formed when hydrochloric acid is added to calcium carbonate?

The reaction between limestone and hydrochloric acid is an acid-carbonate reaction producing a salt, carbon dioxide and water.
Limestone is chemically known as calcium carbonate (insoluble salt) and has the formula CaCO3.
Hydrochloric acid is an acid and is written as HCl.
When calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid reacts the following is formed:
- Calcium chloride CaCl2 (soluble salt)
- Carbon dioxide (CO2 gas)
- Water (H2O)
Due to the carbon dioxide being released, the observer will be able to see bubbling, effervescence or fizzing.
CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) + [2Cl-(aq)] --> Ca2+(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) + [2Cl-(aq)]

∙ 15y agoCalcium carbonate is of the formula CaCO3, so when HCl is added to it, it will create Calcium Chloride, Carbon Dioxide and water. ie. CaCO3 + 2HCl --> CaCl2 + CO2 + H20 The creation of a gas in this reaction means that the reaction will produce bubbles, and will heat up the solution slightly.

∙ 12y agoHCl3 does not exist, but HCl, which is hydrochloric acid does. Limestone is calcium carbonate, CaCO3. Hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium carbonate according to the following equation:
2HCl + CaCO3 ---> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
which is read, "Hydrochloric acid plus calcium carbonate produces calcium chloride plus carbon dioxide plus water."

How does the limestone cycle work?
Starts off as Calcium Carbonate , when heated the calcium carbonate becomes Calcium Oxide + Carbon Dioxide, the Calcium Oxide then reacts with water to produce Calcium Hydroxide and then when more water is added then filtered it becomes Calcium Hydroxide Solution, C02 is then added to form Calcium Carbonate again [:

What is the product when calcium carbonate is added to water?
In general, Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water.However, if the water has Carbon dioxide (CO2) in it, Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) will be created.
Why is there fizz when calcium carbonate is added to lemon juice?
I'm not sure, but it may be because the calcium carbonate is a base, and therefore it neutralises the citric acid in the lemon juice (which makes the lemon juice taste sour). The rapid release of CO2 (a product of the neutralisation)has caused the fizzing, and a salt (calcium citrate) is formed. It is often removed and added to sulphuric acid to make sweets.
Why ammonium oxalate is added in calcium carbonate solution?
Calcium carbonate is rather INsoluble, so there is no solution of it. I do not know why ammonium oxalate is added to a calcium carbonate solution. Calcium oxalate will then precipitate out of the solution. The ammonium and carbonate will create a weakly bond compound. Actually, more of the ammonium ion will be in solution as free ammonia and more of the carbonate ions will be in solution as free carbon dioxide. That is the nature of those two substances. So, you will have a solution that has a calcium oxalate precipitant on the bottom and is slowly giving off ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Which gas if formed when vinegar is added to calcium carbonate?
CO2- carbon dioxide
What chemical compound gives off gas when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to it?
You think probable to calcium carbonate.
Why effervescence is observed when hydrochloric acid is added to a broken stalagmite?
Stalagmites are made of calcium carbonate. When you at HCl, it liberates carbon dioxide and forms calcium chloride
When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid calcium chloride carbon dioxide and water are produced?
The reaction is:CaCO3 + 2 HCL = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
What will be formed when 15 percent of hdrochloric acid is added to calcium carbonate?
Calcium Chloride Carbon Dioxide and Water: CaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

Why ammonium oxalate is added in calcium carbonte solution?
ammonium oxalate is added to calcium carbonate because in the reaction between the two a crystal is formed that contain the Ca+2 ion. This is useful because if you have a sample of sodium carbonate with an unknown molarity you can use the oxalate to extract this calcium and determine what the molarity of the unknown solution was

What is the white precipitate formed when carbon dioxide is added to lime water?
Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 Ca(OH)2 + CO2 -> CaCO3
What chemical reaction takes place when drops of cold water are added to a white solid formed by heating calium calcium carbonate?
Exothermic reaction.
When solid magnesium carbonate is added to a lot of hydrochloric were does the solid magnesium carbonate go?
They react to form H2CO3 and MgCl2
