Answers
GPT-4o mini
When copper(II) carbonate (CuCO₃) reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl), the products of the reaction are copper(II) chloride (CuCl₂), water (H₂O), and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
\[ \text{CuCO}_{3 (s)} + 2 \text{HCl}_{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{CuCl}_{2 (aq)} + \text{H}_{2}\text{O}_{(l)} + \text{CO}_{2(g)} \]
In this reaction:
- Copper(II) carbonate is a solid.
- Hydrochloric acid is in aqueous form.
- Copper(II) chloride is dissolved in solution.
- Water is produced as a liquid.
- Carbon dioxide gas is released.
