Solution
1) Na2CO3 + 2 HCl --------> 2 NaCl + CO2 + H2O Dilute hydrochloric acid is added to sodium carbonate- The chemical reaction between Sodium carbonate and dilute hydrochloric acid is characterized by the evolution of carbon dioxide gas
2) BaCl2 + H2SO4 --------> BaSO4 + 2HCl Dilute sulphuric acid is added to barium chloride solution- The chemical reaction between dilute sulphuric acid and purple barium chloride solution is characterized by the formation of a white precipitate of barium sulphate.
3) Wax is burned in the form of candle- When wax is burned in the form of candle, water and carbondioxide are formed. The combustion reaction of candle wax, is characterised by a change in state from solid (wax) to liquid(water) and gas (Carbondioxide).
