Industrial hydrochloric acid is 9.5MHCl. In an accident like this, calcium carbonate would be used to neutralize the acid. But they would want to dump the right amount on so that they don't create another issue (too much of a different chemical into the environment). How many grams of calcium carbonate will they need?
Write the reaction of hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate.
Calculate the moles of HCl that were dumped.
Determine the moles of calcium chloride needed.
Determine the grams of calcium chloride needed.
