What would happen to the mass data if not enough hydrochloric acid is added to dissolve the solid?
Solids metal carbonates are basic substances. So, their reaction with strong mineral acids like hydrochloric acid is often termed as neutralization reaction. Both (Solid) metal carbonates and bicarbonates get readily decomposed by mineral acids with evolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) bubbles. When hydrochloric acid is added to sodium carbonate, the brisk effervescence of CO2 occurs, along with the formation of sodium chloride and water.
Na2CO3 + 2HCl 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O
