Chemical equation
NaHCO3(s) + HCl(aq) -> Na2CO3 (aq) + H2O(l) + CO2 (g)
(c)concentrated sulphuric(VI)acid?
To dry the gas/as a drying agent
4.Describe the smell of carbon(IV)oxide gas
Colourless and odourless
5. Effect on lime water.
Experiment
Bubbled carbon(IV)oxide gas into a test tube containing lime water for about three
minutes
Observation
White precipitate is formed.
White precipitate dissolved when excess carbon(IV)oxide gas is bubbled .
Explanation
Carbon(IV)oxide gas reacts with lime water(Ca(OH)2) to form an insoluble white
precipitate of calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate reacts with more Carbon(IV)
oxide gas to form soluble Calcium hydrogen carbonate.
Chemical equation
Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2 (g) -> CaCO3 (s) + H2O(l)
CaCO3 (aq) + H2O(l) + CO2 (g) -> Ca(HCO3) 2 (aq)
6. Effects on burning Magnesium ribbon
Experiment
Lower a piece of burning magnesium ribbon into a gas jar containing carbon
(IV)oxide gas.
Observation
The ribbon continues to burn with difficulty
White ash/solid is formed.
Black speck/solid/particles formed on the side of gas jar.
Explanation
Carbon(IV)oxide gas does not support combustion/burning.Magnesium burn to
produce/release enough heat energy to decompose Carbon(IV) oxide gas to carbon
and oxygen.Magnesium continues to burn in Oxygen forming white Magnesium
Oxide solid/ash.Black speck/particle of carbon/charcoal residue forms on the sides
of reaction flask. During the reaction Carbon(IV) oxide is reduced(Oxidizing
agent)to carbon while Magnesium is Oxidized to Magnesium Oxide.
Chemical equation
2Mg(s) + CO2 (g) -> C (s) + 2MgO(l)
