The carbon compounds are removed from the processes to serve as building blocks for other complex molecules.
1) Balanced chemical reaction:
2HClO₄(aq) + K₂CO₃(aq) → K₂CO₃(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l).
2) Balanced chemical reaction:
HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + LiHSO₃(aq) → LiC₂H₃O₂(aq) (aq) + SO₂(g) + H₂O(l).
3) Balanced chemical reaction:
(NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) + Ca(OH)₂(aq) → CaSO₄(s) + 2NH₃(g) + 2H₂O(l).
CaSO₄ (calcium sulfate) is insoluble in water.
