1.	What happens when sodium bicarbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid? How will we check thepresence of gas evolved from the reaction mixture? Explain with the help of equations.
Answer» ANSWER: NaHCO3+HCI->NaCI+H2O+CO2 CO2 gas can be checked by passing it through lime water.On passing lime water will be milky DUE to the formation of PRECIPITATE of CALCIUM carbonate. Ca(OH)2+CO2->CaCO3+H2O Hope it helps...
