(a) Substitute formulae for names and balance the following reaction:

Calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride, water and carbon dioxide gas.

(b) Write balanced chemical equation with state symbols for the following reaction:

Sodium hydroxide solution reacts with hydrochloric acid solution to produce sodium chloride solution and water.


(a) Calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
The balanced chemical equation is given as:
$CaCO_{3} \ +\ 2HCl\ \rightarrow \ CaCl_{2\ } +\ H_{2} O\ +\ CO_{2}$

(b) Sodium hydroxide solution reacts with the hydrochloric acid solution to produce sodium chloride solution and water.
$NaOH\ ( aq) \ +\ HCl\ ( aq) \ \rightarrow \ NaCl\ ( aq) \ +\ H_{2} O\ ( l)$
