The usual method for preparing carbon dioxide in the laboratory is:
(a) Name the chemicals required for the preparation of carbon dioxide in the laboratory.
(b) How will you collect the gas?
(c) Write the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction.
(d) Why is sulphuric acid not used for the preparation of carbon dioxide in the laboratory?
Sulphuric acid can be used to prepare a number of gases in the laboratory. Write balanced equations for the reactions from which the following gases are obtained, using dilute sulphuric acid as one of the reactants: (i) Hydrogen (ii) Carbon dioxide (iii) Sulphur dioxide
