Question about Physical State: DAT Destroyer Q 47

By looking at an equation like BaCO3 (s) + HCl (aq) -> ?, I know the products for this particular equation are BaCl2 + H2CO3 but I don't know if they are solids, gas, or liquid. I tried using the solubility rules that we have to memorize, but these rules only tell us what 'insoluble' which will be an indicator of a solid but if it's 'soluble,' is can be either liquid, aqueous, or gas.

Any responses will be highly appreciated!

Barium Chloride is an ionic salt and hence likely a solid. Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is an acidic liquid which may deprotonate to bicarbonate ion (famous bio buffer system) or spontaneously break down to H20 (l) + CO2(g)...

hope this helps.😀

I would say BaCl would ppt out of the carbonic acid liguid
