Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) dissolves in hydrochloric acid (HCl) but not in water, we can break down the explanation into a few steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃)**: - Calcium carbonate is an ionic compound composed of calcium ions (Ca²⁺) and carbonate ions (CO₃²⁻). It has a strong ionic bond due to the electrostatic attraction between these ions. 2. **Dissolution in Water**: ...
