Question

Write the balanced chemical eqaution for the following:

dilute Nitric acid and Copper carbonate.

Answer 1

Reaction between dilute Nitric acid and Copper carbonate:

• Nitric acid reacts with carbonate and bicarbonates of metal to form salt, water, and Carbon dioxide.
• When Dilute Nitric Acid reacts with Copper carbonate, it will give Copper nitrate, water, and Carbon dioxide gas as products.

Balanced chemical equation :

$\underset{\mathrm{Copper}\mathrm{carbonate}}{{\mathrm{CuCO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Nitric}\mathrm{acid}}{2{\mathrm{HNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Copper}\mathrm{nitrate}}{\mathrm{Cu}{\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3\right)}_2\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}\mathrm{gas}}{{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$
