Question

2. How do metal carbonates and metal hydroge
- carbonates react
with acids.?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reaction of metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates with acids yield salt, carbon dioxide and water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:All metal carbonates and hydrogen carbonates react with acids to form a corresponding salts, carbon dioxide and water.

Metal carbonate + Acid —> Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water

Metal hydrogen carbonate + Acid —> Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water

For example,

Sodium carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid as follows: Na2Co3(s) + 2HCl(aq) —> 2NaCl(aq) + H2O + CO2(g)

Sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid as follows: NaHCO3(s) + HCl(aq) —> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
