    Chemistry Prob. Equations
    Okay..
    The Question:
    Solid calcium carbonate is commonly used in antiacids because it reacts with the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. The products of this reaction are aqueous calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water.

    My answer:
    CaCO3 (s) + HCl (l)= CaCl (aq) + CO2 (g)+ H2O (l)

    I think it's right . However, I typed it in a site to check for the balancing and it said the reaction is impossible. Why? And Is it right?
