Question:-

Saloni took a piece of burning charcoal and collected the gas evolved in a test tube.

1.how is she find the nature of gas ?

2.Write down word equations of all the reaction taking place in this process.

Answer:-

1. Add view drops of water in the test tube containing gas.

Now, cover the test tube and shake it well. After shaking test solution with blue litmus and red litmus. It will turn blue litmus red. Thus the gas is acidic in nature.

2. Charcoal reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide gas.

Charcoal + Oxygen => Carbon Dioxide
