Jaylee Parsons · Answer 1

Double decomposition reaction

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.

Double decomposition reaction

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.
