The reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid can be expressed through the chemical reaction,
CaCO3 + 2HCl --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The molecular weight of calcium carbonate is 100 g/mol while that of hydrochloric acid is 36.45. The equation above depicts that 100 g of calcium carbonate can be dissolved in 72.9 g of hydrochloric acid.
x = (4 g HCl)(100 g CaCO3 / 72.9 HCl)
x = 5.49 g
Answer: 5.49 g
Answer: Yes we agree with the student's claim.
Explanation:
When the molecules are present in smaller size, more reactants can react as decreasing the size increases the surface area of the reactants which will enhance the contact of molecules.Hence, more products will form leading to increased rate of reaction.
On increasing the temperature will make more reactant molecules will have sufficient energies to cross the energy barrier and thus the number of effective collisions increases, thus leading to more products and increased rate of reaction.
When the solution is stirred , the molecule's kinetic energy and thus the rate of reaction increases.
Thus smaller size, stirring and increase of temperature will make the solution quickly.
In an exothermic reaction, heat is produced along with products. But in endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed. If the number of products is less than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction will be exothermic. If the number of products is more than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction is endothermic.
Potassium or any other metals.
If you drop a bath bomb into water, then it will fizz because a chemical reaction is taking place.
