Solution

a) Type of change: 1 Mark
Irreversible change: 1 Mark
b) Answer: 1 Mark

When vinegar is mixed with baking soda, the release of carbon dioxide gas is seen in the form of bubbles.
We cannot get back our original substances since it is an irreversible change.
It is a chemical change because a new substance (carbon dioxide) is formed.

b) When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water, calcium carbonate is formed, which makes the lime water milky. The turning of lime water milky is a standard test for carbon dioxide.
