Important Questions on Tests for Carbonate Ion

EASY
IMPORTANT

The _____ gas is released when hydrochloric acid is added to the test compound. It indicates the presence of carbonate ions.

A dilute acid is used to detect carbonate ions, CO32- Bubbles are released when an acid is added to the test compound, usually diluted hydrochloric acid. Carbon dioxide causes the bubbles using Limewater and the gas is carbon dioxide.
