HCl only has one acidic proton. K2CO3 can accept 2. so twice as amny acid molecules are needed to neutralise the base.

Why does concentrated hydrochloric acid not react with potassium a predicted?

Concentrated hydrochloric acid does not react with potassium because potassium is a more reactive metal than hydrogen. When hydrochloric acid reacts with metals, it typically displaces hydrogen gas. However, potassium is so reactive that it can displace hydrogen from hydrochloric acid, creating a violent reaction that can be unsafe.

What does hydrochloric acid and potassium make?

Hydrochloric acid and potassium react to form potassium chloride and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2HCl + 2K -> 2KCl + H2.


If you added potassium to hydrochloric acid would it produce pottasium salt?

If you added potassium to hydrochloric acid, it would produce potassium chloride (a potassium salt) and hydrogen gas as in the equation below:2K(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> 2KCl(aq) + H2 (g)This reaction is the same for all metals.Acid + Metal = Metal salt + Hydrogen gasOther reactions:Adding an acid to a metal hydroxide gives a metal salt and water.Adding an acid to a metal carbonate give a metal salt and carbon dioxide gas.


What is the reaction when you mix zinc carbonate and hydrochloric acid?

You will get a positive result for hydrogen because the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid produces zinc chloride and hydrogen. The chlorine atoms from the hydrochloric acid attach to the zinc, leaving the hydrogen behind and thus, you have hydrogen.
