Answer:
B. CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃ → CaCO₃ + 2HC
Explanation:
A balanced reaction has the same number of atoms in the both sides of the reaction. In the options:
A. CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃ → 2CaCO₃ + HCI
In this reaction there is 1 Ca in reactants and 2 in products -<em>The reaction is unbalanced-</em>
<em />
<h3>B. CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃ → CaCO₃ + 2HCl
</h3>
There is 1 Ca is both sides, 2Cl, 2H, 1C and 3 Oxygens -<em>The reaction is balanced</em>
<em></em>
C. CaCl₂ + 2H₂CO₃ → CaCO₃ + HCI
There is 1 Ca in both sides but 2Cl in reactants and 1 in Cl -<em>The reaction is unbalanced-</em>
<em />
D. 2CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃ →CaCO₃ + HCI
There are 2 Ca in reactants and 1 in Ca -<em>The reaction is unbalanced-</em>
