Question :
A solution produces a gas by reacting with egg shells, which turns lime water to milky. What will happen in this solution?
ANSWER :
Hydrogen chloride
Lime water turns milky and hence the gas is carbon-dioxide.
We already know that egg shells contain calcium carbonate .
Hence the only thing that can displace is HCl .
Thus the answer is HCl as only an acid can perform the above reaction and displace the calcium carbonate to liberate an acidic gas.
Reaction :
CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂
