Chemical Proportionality (Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid) Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is what happens when a solid substance‚ a metal carbonate is added slowly to a solution of an acid. We are finding methods of determining acid concentration. For us to balance certain equations‚ we will use a stoichiometry. For this experiment‚ we will need to set up the ratio and finding the concentration of HCI. Procedure: • Grab 4 different beakers. • Add a small amount of sodium carbonate
