Answer is: 4,4 grams <span>of carbon dioxide gas would be produced.
</span>Chemical reaction: CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O.
m(CaCO₃) = 10 g.
n(CaCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 100 g/mol.
n(CaCO₃) = 0,1 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0,1 mol.
m(CO₂) = n(CO₂) · M(CO₂).
m(CO₂) = 0,1 mol· 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 4,4 g.
The cations has positive charges that are metals while the anions have negative charges that are non-metals. Upon reaction, there is an exchange in charges that are reflected in the subscripts of the atoms. In this case, compound AX2 must have a cation, A belonging to group 2 A with +2 charge and anion, X belonging to Group 7A with -1 charge. Answer is D.
