Question

Which of the following substance will not give carbon dioxide on treatment with dilute acid? A Marble B Limestone C Baking soda D Lime

Answer 1

the answer of this question is lime is react with dilute acid not give carbon dioxide

Answer 2

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the given options, marble, limestone, and baking soda are all either metal carbonates or bicarbonates. All these when react with a dilute acid then they produce carbon dioxide.

Whereas lime which is calcium oxide when react with a dilute acid then they do not produce carbon dioxide.

For example, $CaO + dil. 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl_{2} + H_{2}O$

Thus, lime when reacts with an acid then it produces salt and water but it does not produce carbon dioxide.
