Many homeowners treat their lawns with CaCO3(s) to reduce the acidity of the soil. Write a net ionic equation for the reaction o
Agata [3.3K]

The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3 
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes: 
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2 
Then, 
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 
The total ionic equation looks as follows: 
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) 
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows: 
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Identify the precipitation reactions. drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.
lana66690 [7]
I can't fully answer this question because it is incomplete. In order for me to help you, I could just define what a precipitation reaction is and give a concrete example.

A precipitation reaction consists of two aqueous solutions that when reacted together, forms an insoluble salt. For example, 

AgNO₃ (aq) + HCl (aq) --> AgCl (s) + HNO₃ (aq)

In this case, the precipitate is AgCl, Silver Chloride, which appears as a white solid.
