Question 5
H

A student added an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid to a small mass of calcium carbonate and measured the volume of carbon dioxide produced.

CaCO3+2HCl→CaCl2+H2O+CO2\text{CaCO}_3 + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{CaCl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2CaCO3​+2HCl→CaCl2​+H2​O+CO2​

Figure shows the student's results.
