Group 1 metal carbonates have the formula M₂CO₃. The identity of the metal ion, M⁺, may be determined by a gravimetric method. The metal carbonate is reacted with excess acid and the mass of carbon dioxide given off is measured. M₂CO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2MCl(aq) + H₂O(I) + CO₂(g) FA 1 is a Group 1 metal carbonate, M₂CO₃. FA 2 is 2.0 mol dm⁻³ hydrochloric acid, HCl.
