In the reaction below, 34.8 g of solid calcium carbonate is mixed with 51.6 g hydrochloric acid. How many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced? CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2001)

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

yes the answer is total mass in unchanged   : )
