Question

How will you prove that given salt is a carbonate of a metal ?

Answer 1

add acid to the substance then test the gad released .
if the gas is co2 then the given salt is a carbonatebof metal

Answer 2

Answer:

It can be tested in the following way-

metal carbonate + acid = metal salt + carbon dioxide + water

Add an acid. The hydrogen ion will combine with carbonate to make H2CO3 which will decay into water and carbon dioxide causing rapid bubbling. Therefore, if you add an acid to salt in solution and rapid bubbling occurs, it is a carbonate salt.
