How does calcium carbonate react differently with different acids?
You will definitely see most similar reactions – it will display a high degree of effervescence, bubbling and foaming. However, the more reactive the acid the more violent the reaction. Furthermore, the higher concentration of the acid, the more violent the reaction and the more intense bubbling and foaming will be. You will also see a degree of heating proportional to the reactivity and concentration of the acid. IT CAN SPRAY HOT ACID AROUND IT. Do NOT TRY IT AT HOME. Only in a lab, under supervision! In all cases the reaction products shall be a neutral salt (calcium sulphate for sulfuric acid CaSO4, calcium chlorate CaCl2 for hidrochloric acid, etc.), water and CO2 (carbon dioxide). Water is heated by the reaction and emerges together with the carbon dioxide, which is a gas, in the form of bubbles and foam, hissing and bubbling. I repeat! DO NOT TRY THE REACTION AT HOME. It IS quite dangerous as it can cause hot acid sprinkle around which can result in goods destroyed or even seriou
