Given :-

  • We have given equation Cacl2 + K2CO3

Let's Begin

We have ,


\sf{ CaCl2 + K2CO3 \:gives \:CaCO3 + KCl }

Let's balance it

On reactant side,


  • \sf{Calcium (Ca) = 1}

  • \sf{Chlorine ( Cl = 2 }

  • \sf{Potassium (K) = 2}

  • \sf{Carbonate (CO3) = 1}

On product side,


  • \sf{Calcium (Ca) = 1}

  • \sf{Chlorine ( Cl = 1 }

  • \sf{Potassium (K) = 1}

  • \sf{Carbonate (CO3) = 1}

Therefore, Balanced equation will be :-


\sf{ CaCl2 + K2CO3 \:gives\: CaCO3 + 2KCl }

  • The above reaction is Double displacement reaction.

Double Displacement reaction :-

  • Double displacement reaction is a reaction in which the ions of compound on a reactant side exchanges due to the varying reactivity of elements so that they can form new products.
