Reactions of Acids: Carbonates | GCSE Chemistry Practice
When acids react with metal carbonates, they produce a salt, water, and carbon dioxide.
What observation confirms that carbon dioxide is produced in an acid-carbonate reaction?
What is Reactions of Acids: Carbonates | Practice?
"The neutralisation reaction between an acid and a metal carbonate."
Which of these metals is the MOST reactive?
Zinc is extracted from its ore by heating with carbon. This is because...
Which of these metals will NOT react with dilute acid?
In electrolysis, where do the positive ions (cations) move to?
Acid + Carbonate
Acid + Metal Carbonate → Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide.
Fizzing/Effervescence occurs due to CO2 gas.
Can be used to identify carbonate ions in unknown samples.
The CO2 turns limewater cloudy.
Observation Tip: If you see "fizzing" in a chemistry question about acids, always suspect a carbonate is involved.
