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!

P4O10(s) = -3110 kJ/mol H2O(l) = -286 kJ/mol H3PO4(s) = -1279 kJ/mol Calculate the change in enthalpy for the following process:
mash [69]

Answer:

-290KJ/mol

Explanation:

ΔHrxn = ΔHproduct - ΔHreactant

ΔHrxn= 4ΔHH3PO4 - {6ΔHH2O + ΔHP4O10}

ΔHrxn = 4(-1279) - [6(-286) - 3110]

= -5116 -(-1716-3110)

= -5116-(-4826)

= -5116 + 4826 = -290KJ/mol

How many valence electrons are in N2O? SeCl2? PBr3?
8090 [49]
Here is the answer for the three of them
<span>N20 = 16 e-
</span><span>SeCl2 =20
</span><span>PBr3 = 26 
Remember that t</span><span>o find the valence electrons in an atom you need to identify what group the element is in. An element in group 1A has 1 valence electron. If the element is in group 2A, then it has two valence electrons.</span>

Does a displacement reaction take place in 'magnesium + lead nitrate'? and if so why?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Maybe or maybe not (not sure)

Explanation:

A displacement reaction is a type of reaction where one element is displaced by another from a compound.

In the case of magnesium and lead nitrate, magnesium is more reactive than lead. Therefore, it will displace lead from lead nitrate to form magnesium nitrate and lead.

The reaction can be represented as:

Mg(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + Pb(s)


Another answer could be;

A displacement reaction does not take place in 'magnesium + lead nitrate' because magnesium is more reactive than lead.
