🔍 Key Concepts

• Chemical descaling reaction between sulfuric acid and calcium carbonate scale (producing carbon dioxide gas) • Relationship between acid strength (pH) and its ability to keep reacting with existing scale • What a change in color and pH typically means about how much active acid is left

💭 Think About

• When sulfuric acid reacts with calcium carbonate scale, what visible and measurable by‑products are produced while the reaction is actively occurring? • If the acid becomes weaker (higher pH, color change), what does that tell you about how much acid has been consumed and whether there is still unreacted scale present? • If carbon dioxide venting stops while acid is still strong, what does that suggest about the reaction and the amount of scale left?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answer choice shows ongoing gas (CO₂) evolution, which indicates an active reaction with scale • Identify which answer choice shows acid still strong (low pH, red color), versus partially neutralized (higher pH, orange color) • Match the condition that means: "there is still enough unreacted scale for the acid to keep reacting and releasing CO₂"
