The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes:
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2
Then,
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The total ionic equation looks as follows:
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows:
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
It would be 1A bc then the +1 charge will cancel out chlorine’s -1 charge
Answer:
Notice that the number of atoms of
K
and
Cl
are the same on both sides, but the numbers of
O
atoms are not. There are 3
O
atoms on the the left side and 2 on the right. 3 and 2 are factors of 6, so add coefficients so that there are 6
O
atoms on both sides.

Now the
K
and
Cl
atoms are not balanced. There are 2 of each on the left and 1 of each on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of
KCl
.
