Question

What type of reaction is : CaCo3+ HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 +H2O

Answer 1

Double decomposition reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

When hydrochloric acid reacts with any carbonates/hydrogen carbonates the products formed are metal chloride , water and carbon dioxide.Since HCl decomposes salts of weaker acids.

So the equation of the reaction between calcium carbonate and HCl is:

CaCO3+2HCl =CaCl2+H2O+CO2

This reaction is also known as double decomposition reaction.

Answer 2

Double decomposition reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

When hydrochloric acid reacts with any carbonates/hydrogen carbonates the products formed are metal chloride , water and carbon dioxide. Since HCl decomposes salts of weaker acids. This reaction is also known as double decomposition reaction.
