What observation would you expect to make if hydrochloric acid is added to calcium carbonate?

Well, hydrochloric acid is an acid, and calcium carbonate is a base. Therefore there is going to be a spontaneous reaction and will result in the formation of what is defined as a salt, namely calcium chloride and some water.

∙ 15y agoYou will observe the calcium carbonate dissolving readily in dilute sulfuric acid with immediate and vigorous gas evolution. In actuality, calcium carbonate will react with dilute sulfuric acid forming carbon dioxide gas, calcium sulfate and water. Since the calcium sulfate is soluble in water, it will dissolve and you would obtain a clear solution with carbon dioxide bubbling out from the fizzy solution. The reaction can be shown as follows: CaCO3 + H2SO4 ----> CaSO4 + H2O +CO2

Why might you expect magnesium carbonate to behave in a similar way to calcium carbonate?
They are both group 2 elements, separated by only one period.
If you heated limestone how would you expect the mass of the limestone to compare with the mass of calcium oxide?
When you heat limestone it becomes calcium oxide but if you mean calcium carbonate then it should go down slightly due to the release of CO2
What two element that would expect to have properties very much like those of calcium?
One is magnesium. Other is Strontium. One below and one above Calcium in periodic table column.
Would you expect the carbonate alkalinity to be higher or lower for temporary hard rather than permanently hard water?
Ai, but only by a wee muggin eh
Why is the formula ca F a logical one?
We would logically expect calcium and fluorine to combine, since calcium is strongly metallic (donates electrons) and fluorine is very strongly non-metallic (receives electrons). The actual formula is CaF2.
Should a homeowner expect more calcium carbonate build up in hot water pipes or cold water pipes?
Cold for the calcium carbonate is disolved by hot water.

Which statement is an example of an observation the students could have made?
Well, we didn't expect that!
Would you expect to find calcium chloride in ocean water?
what do you expeat to find in calcium chloride in ocean water
Would you expect calcium to gain or lose electrons in a chemical reactions?
Like all metals calcium will lose electrons.
What element would you expect to behave the most like calcium?
Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
What elements are in bubblegum?
Bubblegum is amde up of organic compounds, forms of synthetic rubber, and sweeteners and flavourings and coloring agents, a trade secret, I would expect to find carbon hydrogen and perhaps nitrogen also some may use "fillers", perhaps calcium carbonate as that is food safe.
Would you expect to find calcium metal used in conducting wire or structural materials?
Do you have Mr. Warren?
Would you expect acid rain to be greater problem in an area with marble bedrock or granite bedrock?
Marble as it is a carbonate rock which is soluble in acids.
The compound CaSO4 ionizes into a calcium ion and a sulfate ion SO4 Calcium has 2 electrons in its outer shell Upon ionization what would you expect the charge on the sulfate ion to be?
SO4 2-
What two element that would expect to have properties very much like those of calcium?
