Answer:
Bases don't react with metal carbonates because metal carbonates have basic nature, so there is no reaction occurred when they are reacted with bases.
Explanation:
- Metal carbonates are usually referred to as bases.
- These are the different kinds of bases that can easily undergoes reaction with acids to give salt, water and carbon dioxide.
- Carbonate ion is also hydrolyzed to carbonic acid in their aqueous solution and gives hydroxide ion that is accountable for its basic character.
