What is the balance equation for calcium carbonate and dilute nitric acid?

2HNO3 + K2CO3——————————→2KNO3 + CO2

A simple acid base neutralization.

Calcium hydrogen carbonate is [math]Ca(HCO_3)_2[/math] ,when it is dissolved in water and that water is boiled it decomposes into insoluble calcium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water.

[math]Ca(HCO_3)_2 —> CaCO_3 + CO_2 +H_2O[/math]

That is why calcium hydrogen carbonate is traditionally called temporary hardness since it can be reduced simply by boiling the water. This is the reaction that causes chalk or fur in kettles, water heaters and pipework.

Look it up online. There is no need to ask us. Put your exact question in your favorite search engine and press search. The answer is yes, btw.

Acid to water, always. Best to pour it down the side of a flask into the water or use a glass rod to minimize splatter. Also, stir the solution as the acid is being added. Wear safety glasses, gloves, and a lab coat to preserve your clothes and skin, and eyes. Do this all in a hood to avoid breathing noxious vapors.

Those two materials don't react.

No. The process for making esters involves extracting a water molecule from the two reactants. If there is too much water present, then it will be consumed instead. This would be true of any diluted acid.

2HNO3 + CaCO3 → H2O + CO2 + Ca(NO3)2

Calcium carbonate reacts with nitric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas, when the reaction was done the leftover solution is calcium nitrate

Hopes this helps:)

Nitric acid has the chemical formula HNO3, and Calcium Hydroxide has the chemical formula Ca(OH)2. When an acid and a base react with each other, the products that are formed is a salt (an ionic compound that is formed from a reaction between an acid and a base) and water.

So, acid + base ---> salt + water

Now, to balance the equation, we have to make sure there are the same number of atoms (or ions) on both sides of the equation. Also, we must list the state of each compound in the equation.

HNO3 (aq) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) ---> Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + H2O (l)

Number of atoms before the reaction:
H = 3
N = 1
O = 5
Ca = 1
Number of atoms after the reaction:
H = 2
N = 2
O = 7
Ca = 1

There are not the same number of atoms on both sides of the equation, so we must balance it. Remember to place the balancing numbers in front of the chemical formulas.

2HNO3 (aq) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) ---> Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)

Number of atoms before the reaction:
H = 4
N = 2
O = 8
Ca = 1
Number of atoms after the reaction:
H = 4
N = 2
O = 8
Ca = 1

There are now the same number of atoms on both sides of the equation, so that is the balanced chemical equation between nitric acid and calcium hydroxide.

I hope that made it a bit easier :)

The overall reaction is

[math]K_{2}CO_{3} + 2HNO_{3} → 2KNO_{3} + CO_{2} + H_{2}O[/math]

So the net ionic equation would be

[math]CO_{3}^{2-} + 2H^{+} → CO_{2} + H_{2}O[/math]
