Hard water stains in sinks and showers can be caused by a buildup of solid calcium carbonate. These stains can be removed by bat
hroom cleaners containing acids such as aqueous hydrochloric acid, which reacts with the calcium carbonate to form carbon dioxide gas, aqueous calcium chloride and liquid water. a) Write a balanced equation for this reaction
The reaction between solid calcium carbonate and a mineral acid such as aqueous HCl is a neutralization reaction and occurs with the evolution of CO2 gas.
The balanced equation is given below
CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H20 + CO2
The product CaCl2 is water soluble which accounts for why the stain is removed, while CO2 gas escapes away from the reaction surface.
When an acid reacts with a metal carbonate a salt, carbon dioxide and water are formed. Hard water usually contain Ca^2+ in the form of Ca(HCO3)2. Minor heating causes CaCO3(calcium carbonate) to deposit on surfaces through which the hard water passes.
Calcium carbonate reacts with acids to produce a calcium salt, water and carbon dioxide: Calcium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid → Calcium chloride + Water + Carbon dioxide. The carbonate radical breaks up into carbon dioxide and oxygen; the oxygen binds with the acid's hydrogen ions to make water; and a solution of calcium chloride remains.
The reaction involves the heterolytic fission of the Br-Br bond in the bromine molecule to yield a bromine cation which attacks the but-1-ene to form a cyclic intermediate called the brominium ion. The bromine anion must now attack from the opposite face of the brominium ion due to steric clashes to form a product of a 1,2-dibromoalkane having the anti- stereochemistry.
Pedigree charts are used to see traits that are present in families or individuals. For example, it can be used see if certain diseases are running through someone's family and if that individual will inherit the disease.
