Solution

The correct option is A CaCO3+2HClCaCl2+H2O+CO2
CaCO3+HClCaCl2+H2O+CO2

There is one Calcium atom on the left and one Calcium atom on the right so this is balanced.

There is 1 Carbon atom on the left and 1 Carbon atom on the right so this is balanced.

There are 3 Oxygen atoms on the left and 3 Oxygen atoms on the right so this is balanced.

There is 1 hydrogen atom on the left but 2 on the right so this is unbalanced. Therefore we need to balance it by using 2 molecules of HCl

CaCO3+2HClCaCl2+H2O+CO2
