An Undesirable Reaction in Chemistry Lab Report
I’m working on a chemistry writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Limestone (CaCO3) which is widespread on Earth’s surface, often enters the water supply. However, in the presence of dissolved carbon dioxide, calcium carbonate is converted to soluble calcium bicarbonate. What’s the reaction? When water containing Ca+2 and HCO3- ions is heated or boiled, the solution reaction is reversed to produce CaCO3 precipitate. Solid calcium carbonate is the main component of the scale that accumulates in boilers, pipes and teakettles. write a page describing the method used to remove scale deposits? Explain the reaction.
