Which of the following is a method of preparation of CO2?
By complete combustion of carbon
By action of dilute mineral acids on carbonates.
As a by-product from the manufacture of Hydrogen for making ammonia.
None of these
Methods of preparation of CO2
1. By combustion of carbon
C(s) + O2(g)→CO2(g)
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
2. In laboratory, CO2 is prepared by the action of dilute mineral acids on metallic carbonates and bicarbonates.
CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
3. By heating metallic carbonates and bicarbonates
NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3 (s)+ H2O (g)+ CO2(g)
