Reaction Steps

Solid preparations of calcium carbonate and citric acid in exactly desired ratio are mixed. When this mixture is added to water, the reaction of the two compounds yields calcium citrate, with elaboration of carbon dioxide. An excess of citrate renders calcium citrate increasingly soluble.
