Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The reaction of metal carbonates with acids results in the evolution of a gas. A gas is confirmed to be carbon dioxide by passing it through lime water. The gas evolved from the reaction of metal carbonates with acid when passed through lime water, turns it milky, thereby confirming that it is carbon dioxide gas.
