Ba3CO3 (s) + HCl (aq) -->

how does this reaction occur. hmm HCl dissociates and Ba3CO3 what happens to it? can anyone explain this step by step plz.
 
Think you mean BaCO3 (s) + 2 HCl (from topscore right?)

Anyway products are BaCl2 and H2CO3 like in a normal double replacement reaction/acid base, but H2CO3 is unstable and decomposes to H2O and CO2.
 
ok it makes sense. but how do we know its double replacement, and are there any other compounds that are unstable?
