Question

Can this reaction take place/does it exist -
CaCl2+CO2+H20----> CaCO3 + 2HCl

Answer 1

yeah it can exist

Answer 2

firstly CaCl2 reacts with water to form CaO an then CaO reacts with CO2 to form CaCO3

Answer 3

CaCO3+2HCl>>>CO2+H2O+CaCl2

Answer 4

Oh. Thanks a lot! :)

Answer 5

maths911, you mean to say it's a reversible reaction?

Answer 6

CaO + CO2 can automatically convert itself in to CaCO3 but CaCO3 can't convert itself into CaO and CO2 without heating...

Answer 7

It can be reversible too. Either way is possible.

Answer 8

it can only by maintaining it ..

Answer 9

*confused*. well thanks d'oh.
