The above chemical equation describes the reaction process between the metal Calcium (Ca) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to produce Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) and Hydrogen gas (H2).
- Reaction conditions
The reaction occurs at room temperature and standard pressure of 1 atm.
- Reaction process
During the reaction process, calcium reacts with sulfuric acid to form calcium sulfate and hydrogen gas.
- Phenomena occurring
When sulfuric acid reacts with calcium, hydrogen gas is produced. This phenomenon can be observed by seeing gas bubbles emerging from the solution. Simultaneously, the produced calcium sulfate is a white solid that forms a precipitate in the solution.
