    • Summary
    • What’s Next?

    In the previous segment of the chapter ‘Acids, Bases and Salts’, we studied the reaction of acids and bases with metals. In this segment, let us understand the reaction of acids with metal carbonates and metal hydro-carbonates.

    How do Acids react with metal carbonates?

    Sodium carbonate (??2??3)is an example of a metal carbonate.

    Let us understand how acids react with sodium carbonate with the help of an experiment.

    Things needed:

    • A stand
    • A cork
    • Two test tubes
    • A delivery tube
    • Thistle funnel
    • Dilute hydrochloric acid
    • Sodium carbonate
    • Calcium hydroxide solution (Lime water)

    Procedure:

    1. Add half a gram of sodium carbonate to a test tube.
    2. In this test tube, add dilute hydrochloric acid. Some gas is released.
    3. In the other test tube, add calcium hydroxide solution or lime water (Ca(OH)_{2}).
    4. Connect both the test tubes with a delivery tube.
    5. The gas produced in the first test tube is passed to the second test tube with the help of the delivery tube. Lime water turns milky.
