2. Write fully balanced equations for the reaction between :
(a) Magnesium bicarbonate and dilute sulphuric acid. (b) Copper carbonate and dilute nitric acid.
(c) Zinc carbonate and dilute hydrochloric acid.
Answers
Explanation:
1. Menu. The action of sulfuric acid on calcium carbonate produces water, a calcium salt and a gas that turns limewater milky. KHCO3 + HCl --> KCl + H2CO3. MgCO3 + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + CO2 + H2O (to previous answer Mg2CO3 isn't magnesium carbonate) Good luck!
2.WHEN COPPER CARBONATE REACTS WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID, ACCORDING TO ME THE PRODUCTS WILL BE COPPER CHLORIDE AND HYDROGEN CARBONATE. CUCO3+HCL=CUCL+HCO3. BUT IT THE TEXTBOOKK ITS WRITTEN THAT THE PRODUCTS OF THIS REACTION IS COPPER CHLORIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER.
3.Zinc carbonate reacts with acids like hydrochloric acid forms zinc chloride and release carbon dioxide.
ZnCO3 + HCl → ZnCl2 + CO2
Zinc carbonate undergoes decomposition forming zinc oxide and carbon dioxide. The chemical reactions is as below.
ZnCO3 → ZnO + CO2
