Identify the reactants in the equation: Potassium bicarbonate (KHCO₃) and hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Recognize that this is a gas evolution reaction, where an acid reacts with a bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas.
Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction: KHCO₃(aq) + HCl(aq) → KCl(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l).
Understand that the bicarbonate ion (HCO₃⁻) reacts with the hydrogen ion (H⁺) from HCl to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into CO₂ and H₂O.
Note that the potassium ion (K⁺) from KHCO₃ combines with the chloride ion (Cl⁻) from HCl to form potassium chloride (KCl) in the solution.
