1
Q
What is done with the calcium carbonate? (Marble chips)
A
It is out in the bottom of a flask and dilute hydrochloric acid is added
2
Q
What does the dilute hydrochloric acid do?
A
Reacts with the calcium carbonate to produce calcium chloride, water and carbon dioxide gas
3
Q
What is the symbol equation?
A
2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) —> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Q
What is the word equation?
A
Hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate —> calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
5
Q
What is then done with the carbon dioxide gas?
A
It is collected in a gas syringe or using downward delivery
