What happens when you react Sulphuric Acid and Calcium Carbonate?

Answer 1

K2CO3 (s) + H+ ------------> K+(aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

sulfuric acid is a strong acid, so H+ and SO4 3- are seperated

since SO4 3- is a spectator ion, it is excluded in the reaction above

Answer 2

the result is a little bit like putting those 1980's moon dust crystals in your mouth, you know? the ones that pop and crackle and tingle on your tongue. I accidentally mixed caustic soda and sulphuric acid today in the works urinals. I can confirm that the result was not what i expected and that i won't be trying to replicate the cleaning process again. Plumes of foul smelling white clouds burst from the urinal up to ceiling where a mini noxious weather system formed leaving my throat gagging my nose burning and my eyes unsure what to do. I can report that mixing the two together is not advised and that the urinal is still in a "bit of a state" ..

Avoid at all costs...potentially quite dangerous i should imagine..

Answer 3

you will end up with: calcium carbonate + sulfuric acid --> calcium sulfate + carbon dioxide + water CaCO3 + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + CO2 + H20

Answer 4

Calcium sulfate will precipitate, leaving hydrochloric acid in solution.

Answer 5

H2SO4 + CaCO3 → CaSO4 + H2O + CO2

You will get calcium sulphate and will liberate carbon dioxide gas

Answer 6

salt and water
