Does calcium react with dilute acid?

Answer 1

calcium carbonate reacts with acids ,How ?

when calcium carbonate reacts with a dilute acid it will form the corresponding salt and water .will also release carbon dioxide.

e.g.

CaCO 3 + H Cl --> Ca Cl 2 + C O2 +H2O

EDIT: The above chemical equation is not balanced...

Here's the balanced equation:

CaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 +CO2 + H2O

Calcium Carbonate reacts with Hydrochloric acid to form Calcium Chloride, Carbon dioxide, and water.

Answer 2
