2HCl + Na2CO3 ---> 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O Carbon dioxide is the gas which evolved when sodium carbonate react with HCl
Carbon dioxide gas evolves when HCl acid is added to:
(a) What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to sodium carbonate ? Write a balanced chemical equation of the reaction involved.
(b) Which gas is liberated when dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium carbonate ? How will you test for the presence of this gas ?
Name the gas evolved when ethanoic acid is added to sodium carbonate. How would you prove the presence of this gas ?
