but can dissolve in an acid using the reaction: 2HCl(aq)+CaCO3(s) Ca2+(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O+2HCl-(aq) This reaction is not used to titrate the CaCO3 because it is very slow when the reaction is close to the endpoint. Instead adding an excess of acid to dissolve all of the CaCO3 and then titrating the remaining H3O+ with NaOH solution can achieve the determination of the amount of acid‚ which has not reacted with the calcium carbonate. There are differences between amount of the acid (HCl) added and the

Calorimeters are simply devices used to measure the amount of heat gained or lost in a system. Although this is not completely true‚ they are treated as isolated systems. A simple coffee-cup
