In the test for carbonate ions, a metal carbonate reacts with an acid to produce a salt, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
Lithium carbonate, Li2CO3\text{Li}_2\text{CO}_3Li2CO3, is reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid, HCl\text{HCl}HCl.
Complete and balance the equation for this reaction.
Li2CO3+2HCl→……⋯+……⋯+……… \text{Li}_2\text{CO}_3 + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \dots\dots\dots + \dots\dots\dots + \dots\dots\dots Li2CO3+2HCl→……⋯+……⋯+………Practise Edexcel GCSE Chemistry Acids with exam-style questions for Foundation and Higher tier. 100 questions, matched to the Edexcel GCSE Chemistry (1CH0) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style.
