Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid

CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

概要

Calcium carbonate (limestone or marble) reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide. This is the reaction used to test for carbonate minerals by adding acid and observing effervescence. Marble fizzes when acid is dropped on it.
