People would rush to the store to buy supplies and there might not be enough for the "last minute noticed" people
Answer:
I don't know if you can directly prove it with evidence if you haven't observed it but you can maybe take an educated guess by the aftermath of it?
For example, you see a burnt log. At this time, people don't know what fire is. After we study the log, we could see that it takes extreme temperature in order to burn the log and that would help people see that there is a force like fire that can cause this. In a way, finding out that extreme temperatures burns stuff is another step closer to the discovery and proof of fire
I hope that makes sense
The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes:
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2
Then,
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The total ionic equation looks as follows:
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows:
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
