When a carbonate reacts with an acid, it forms a salt, carbon dioxide gas, and water. The general chemical equation for this reaction is: carbonate + acid → salt + carbon dioxide + water. This reaction is a type of double displacement reaction, where the carbonate ion (CO3 2-) from the carbonate compound reacts with the hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid to form water and carbon dioxide gas, leaving behind a salt.
