Which of the following anion is present in salt A when dil. HCl is added to salt A and heated, carbon dioxide is evolved.
CO32-
When metal carbonate or metal hydrogen carbonate reacts with dilute HCl, metallic chloride and water are formed along with carbon dioxide gas is evolved. So, salt A contains CO2−3 ion.
CaCO3+2HCl→CaCI2+H2O+CO2
