Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Acids give carbon dioxide gas and respective salts along with water when they react with metal carbonates.

Metal carbonate + Acid ⇨ Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water Example-Hydrochloric acid gives carbon dioxide gas, sodium chloride along with water when reacts with sodium carbonate.

Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl ⇨ 2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O
