The reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid can be expressed through the chemical reaction,
CaCO3 + 2HCl --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The molecular weight of calcium carbonate is 100 g/mol while that of hydrochloric acid is 36.45. The equation above depicts that 100 g of calcium carbonate can be dissolved in 72.9 g of hydrochloric acid.
x = (4 g HCl)(100 g CaCO3 / 72.9 HCl)
x = 5.49 g
Answer: 5.49 g

Answer:
Calcium chloride (CaCl2) would help me eat my ice cream faster
Explanation:
Addition of salt to ice melts the lowers the freezing temperature of the ice thus melting the ice easily
Adding calcium chloride to my ice cream would help me eat it faster because the melting point of calcium chloride (772°C) is lower than that of sodium chloride (melting point is 801°C). Calcium chloride would melt my ice cream faster because of its lower melting point
