When acids react with a carbonate or a hydrogencarbonate (or a metal carbonate or a metal hydrogencarbonate) carbon dioxide, water and a salt solution is produced. That is:

acid + metal --> carbon dioxide + water + salt solution

An example is the following ionic equation:

CH3COOH(aq) + NaHCO3(s) --> CO2(g) + H2O(l) + Na+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)

You can see this reaction occur when you mix vinegar with some bicarbonate soda (sodium hydrogencarbonate), which is the reaction they use in those little volcanoes you make in the school sand pit ahahaha lol this answer is from Jennifer and by the way She rules jk i suck

What do all carbonates react with?

Carbonates react with hydrochloric acid.


Is hydrochloric acid the only acid which reacts with carbonates?

No, any strong acid will react with carbonates.


What reacts with carbonates a base or an acid?

As carbonates are mildly basic, anything acid will react with them (releasing carbon dioxide gas).


What two substances can react with hydrochloric acid to form salt?

Two substances that can react with hydrochloric acid to form salt are metal oxides and metal carbonates. When metal oxides react with hydrochloric acid, they form metal chloride and water. When metal carbonates react with hydrochloric acid, they form metal chloride, carbon dioxide, and water.


What salt will be made when any carbonates reacts with hydrochloric acid?

When carbonates react with hydrochloric acid, the salt produced is a metal chloride, carbon dioxide gas, and water. The specific metal chloride salt formed will depend on the metal cation in the carbonate compound.


What happens when acids react with compounds made of carbonets?

the acid eats away at carbonates


Does a base react with carbonates?

Yes, bases can react with carbonates to form water, carbon dioxide, and a salt. The reaction typically involves the base accepting a proton from the carbonate ion, leading to the formation of carbon dioxide gas.


This gas is given off when acid react with carbonates?

Carbon dioxide gas is given off when an acid reacts with carbonates. This reaction forms carbonic acid, which then decomposes to release carbon dioxide gas.


What reacts with sulphuric acid?

Sulphuric acid is an acid, so many substances react with it. It will be impractical to list down all the things that would react with sulphuric acid as there are enormously too many! Examples are metals, metal oxides and metal carbonates.


What acids make carbonates?

The acid that makes carbonates is carbonic acid.


Does flint react to acid?

Yes, flint does react with acid. When in contact with acid, flint will fizz and bubble as a result of the chemical reaction taking place. This reaction is due to the carbonates present in the flint being broken down by the acid.


What gas do acids produce when they react with carbonates?

Acids produce carbon dioxide gas when they react with carbonates. This is due to the acid breaking down the carbonate to form carbon dioxide, water, and a salt.
