Question

Name the gas evolved in each of the following cases :
1) Copper carbonate is heated strongly.
2)Action of dilute hydrochloric acid on sodium sulphate.
3)Nitrogen combines with hydrogen.
4)Action of dilute sulphuric acid on sodium carbonate.
5)Addition of sodium to cold water.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

(i) This reaction is the thermal decomposition of Copper Carbonate, which breaks down when heated into two or more products from the initial reactant. The products evolved in this particular reaction are Copper Oxide and Carbon Dioxide. Therefore, the gas evolved here is Carbon Dioxide.

(ii) when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium sulphite, it forms sodium chloride and sulphur dioxide which gives smell of burning sulphur.

(iii) When hydrogen gas combines with nitrogen to form Ammonia the following chemical reaction will take place.

(v) Sodium element is a very reactive metal. If a small amount of sodium is thrown in water, it usually wizzes on top reacting vigorously to form Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrogen gas.
