reaction one balanced equation check calcium and sulfuric acid produce insoluble calcium sulfate and hydrogen Ca (s) + H2SO4 (aq) CaSO4 (s) + H2 (g) On each side of the arrow there are 1Ca, 2H, 1S, 4O
formulae Ca molecule and a H2SO4 molecular ion and type of react to make chemical CaSO4 ions and H2 molecule species
reaction two balanced equation check formulae and type of chemical species
potassium carbonate and hydrochloric acid produce soluble potassium chloride, water and carbon dioxide K2CO3 (s) + 2HCl (aq) 2KCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g) On each side of the arrow there are 2K, 1C, 3O, 2H, 2Cl
K2CO3 ions and HCl molecules react to make KCl ions, H2O molecules and CO2 molecules
reaction three balanced equation check formulae and type of chemical species
