When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced.
CaCO 3 ( s ) + 2 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ CaCl 2 ( aq ) + H 2 O ( l ) + CO 2 ( g )
How many grams of calcium chloride will be produced when 31.0 g of calcium carbonate is combined with 12.0 g of hydrochloric acid?
Which reactant is in excess?
How many grams of the excess reactant will remain after the reaction is complete?
