problem

[John Doe]

For those of you science heads I need help. My science teacher wants us to predict a reaction but hasn't taught me anything.

H2O+CaCl+NaHCO3

I know the products are CaCO3+NaCl+CO2

which I can explain. Sodium and chloride go together derp. CO2 was almost certainly created. H2O makes sense. It acts as a medium to allow both reactants to dissolve and mix and doesn't change. And CaCO3 is what is left over BUT there is an acid. I don't know where but there has to be. Where is the acid?

[Silence Dogood]

I may be wrong but I believe your acid would be the left over H3+

[John Doe]

Well I am fairly sure that the final product was mostly neutral and that the acid would have taken place in the middle. I know that those are the products. But are you saying that H3+ was created during the reaction? Note that the only H comes from the water...

[John Doe]

Nvr Mind derp.

[John Doe]

Actually b/c of CO2 I was thinking more carbonic acid.

[Silence Dogood]

K then. U just sed u were missing an an acid and I just remembered the H- and H+ crap we read all the time in science while seeing that the hydrogen atoms weren't in the products so yah

[John Doe]

ok well thanks a bunch; you and sam helped me realize my mistake

[Samuel Joyce]

There is also an H from the NaHCO3
