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

Answer:

CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + 2CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Explanation:

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + 2CO2(g) + H2O(l)

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.

A mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 821 mmHg. The partial pressure of helium is 105 mmHg, and the p
skad [1K]

Answer:

Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg

According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,

Pt = P1 + P2 + P3

So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>
