Activity 2.5 Explanation: How Do Metal Carbonates and Metal Hydrogencarbonates React With Acids?

The document describes a chemistry experiment where sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate are reacted with hydrochloric acid in separate test tubes, producing effervescence and carbon dioxide gas in both cases. When the gas from each test tube is bubbled through limewater, it turns milky, indicating the presence of carbon dioxide.

How do Metal Carbonates and Metal Hydrogencarbonates React with Acids?

Activity 2.5 Explanation


Activity- Take two test tubes, and label them as A and B.
 Take about 0.5 g of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) in test A and about 0.5 g of sodium hydrogen
carbonate (NaHCO3) in test tube B.
 Add about 2 ml of dilute HCI to both the test tubes.
 What do you observe?
 Pass the gas produced in each case through lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) as shown in
fig... and record your observations.
Observation- A brisk effervescence is seen in the reaction mixture in both test tubes.
Test Tube A-
Na2CO3 + 2HCl →2NaCl + H2O +CO2
Test Tube B-
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O +CO2
When the gas produced in each test tube is passed through lime water with the help of a delivery tube. Lime
water turns milky.
Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(I)
Lime water milky
When the gas is passed in excess, calcium hydrogen carbonate is formed and turns milkiness.
CaCO3(s) + CO2(g) → H2O(I) → Ca(HCO3)2(aq)
Conclusion: All acids decompose metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates with the liberation of
CO2 gas, water, and corresponding salt.
