To begin with, the equation given is not correct.
Correct equation is : CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
It's CaCl2 not CaCl because Ca has a valency of 2 

    LHS                          RHS
CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
First of all, to balance the equation you must look at the number of atoms on each side of the equation. 
we have 2 H on the RHS and 1 H on the LHS. So, we put a 2 on the LHS

CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
Check for the LHS: 1 Ca, 1 C, 3 O, 2 H & 2 Cl on the LHS
Now check for the RHS: 1 Ca, 2 Cl, 2 H, 1 C & 3 O

Hope it helped!

Using the reaction below determine the amount of Sulfur proceduced in grams (this is a limiting reaction question) 2 H2S + SO2 -
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

<u>= 2.2 g pf S. produced</u>

Explanation:

Balanced Reaction equation:

2H_{2} S + SO_{2} →  3S + 2H_{2} O

1 mole of H2S - 34.1g

? moles - 3.2g

= 3.2/34.1 =<u> 0.09 moles of H2S</u>

Also,

1 mole of S02 - 64.07 g

? moles - 4.42g

= 4.42/64.07 <u>= 0.069 moles of SO2</u>

<u />

<em>Meaning SO2 is the limiting reagent</em>

Finally, 3 moles of S -  32g of sulphur

0.069 mole = ? g of Sulphur

= 0.069 x 32

<u>= 2.2 g pf S.</u>

What do cations and anions form?
melomori [17]

Answer: Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.
