Answer: HCl

Explanation:

calcium carbonate dissolves in HCl acid producing CO 2 gas. It will not dissolve in pure water. The Ksp for calcium carbonate in water is 3.4 x 10-9 moldm-3 which is very low. What takes place here is actually a chemical reaction:

CaCO 3 (s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl 2 (aq) + H 2CO 3(aq)

This reaction accounts for the solubility of the Calcium carbonate in HCl and not in pure water.

Which net ionic equation best represents the reaction that occurs when an aqueous solution of barium chloride is mixed with an a

vovangra [49]

Answer : The net ionic equation will be:

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)$

Explanation :

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substance that are strong electrolyte and present in an aqueous are represented in the form of ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

The balanced molecular equation will be,

$BaCl_2(aq)+Li_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCl(aq)+BaSO_4(s)$
