Write complete ionic and net ionic equations for the reaction between sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

H2SO4 (aq) + CaCO3 (s) - > H2O (I) + CO2 (g) + CaSO4 (aq)

Complete ionic equation: 2 H⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (I) + CO₂ (g) + Ca²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation: 2 H⁺ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (I) + CO₂ (g) + Ca²⁺ (aq)

Explanation:

The molecular equation includes all the species in the molecular form.

H₂SO₄ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (I) + CO₂ (g) + CaSO₄ (aq)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.

2 H⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (I) + CO₂ (g) + Ca²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and the molecular species.

2 H⁺ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (I) + CO₂ (g) + Ca²⁺ (aq)

Complete ionic equation:

2H²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) + Ca²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

2H²⁺ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) + Ca²⁺ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) + CaSO₄ (aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) + CaSO₄ (aq)

Complete ionic equation:

2H²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) + Ca²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

2H²⁺ (aq) + CaCO₃ (s) → H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) + Ca²⁺ (aq)
