Balancing:
◆Give a balanced equations for reactions involving evolution of a gas on addition of dilute acid to--
a】Sodium Sulphate b】Calcium Carbonate
(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 ?
Write the balanced chemical equations for the following reactions- (a) Sodium carbonate on reaction with hydrochloric acid in equal molar concentration gives sodium chloride and sodium hydrogen carbonate. (b) Sodium hydrogen carbonate on reaction with hydrochloric acid gives sodium chloride, water and liberates carbon dioxide. (c) Copper sulphate on treatment with potassium iodide precipitates cuprous iodide (Cu2I2), liberates iodine gas and also forms potassium sulphate.
(a) Name the gas evolved when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to: (i) Zinc metal (ii) Calcium carbonate (iii) Sodium sulphite (iv) Lead (II) sulphide (v) Magnesium bicarbonate (vi) Potassium bisulphite (b) Give a balanced equation for each of the above reaction.
