Question

Make a claim for why caco3 reacts more vigorously with hcl than with hc2h3o2

Answer 1

CaCO₃ reacts more vigorously with HCl than with CH₃COOH because HCl is a strong acid and acetic acid is a weak acid.

What is calcium carbonate?

Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is a salt of strong base and weak acid so that it can react with any acid.

Among hydrochloric acid (HCl) and acetic acid (CH₃COOH), HCl is a strong acid means it completely dissociates into their respective ions and acetic acid is a weak acid. So due to strong basic nature of calcium carbonate it vigorously reacts with strong HCl acid.

Hence due to strong acidity of HCl, CaCO₃ vigorously react with HCl.
