Q

Carbonate ion, (CO3)2- and dilute acids: what do you observe?

A

Add any dilute acid. Pass the gas given off into limewater.
- Effervescence is observed. Colourless, odourless gas evolved forms a white precipitate when bubbled into limewater (aq calcium hydroxide). Gas is CO2.

Q

What is one purpose of adding acid?

A

Purpose of acids: remove any carbonate impurities that may be present/detect presence of carbonate ion (effervescence, gas evolved is CO2)
