* Copper carbonate (CuCO₃) is a base. It reacts with acids to form salts, carbon dioxide, and water.
* Chloride carbon (CCl₄) is a nonpolar covalent compound and not typically formed in reactions with carbonates.
* Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the only common acid that would produce chloride ions.
Here's the correct reaction:
CuCO₃ (s) + 2HCl (aq) → CuCl₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)
* Copper carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce copper(II) chloride, water, and carbon dioxide.
