Many homeowners treat their lawns with CaCO3(s) to reduce
the acidity of the soil. The net ionic equation for the reaction of CaCO3(s)
with a strong acid, HCl (I chose HCl because it is a strong acid) is CaCO3(s) +2
HCl(aq) → CaCl2(s) + H2O(aq) + CO2(g).
If an atom gains an electron and gets a negative charge because of it, it is a negatively charge ion AKA an anion.
