Chemistry: Edexcel IGCSE, topic 13.2.6
Reactions of Carbonates
When carbonates react with dilute acids, the following products are formed:
A salt
Carbon dioxide
Water
Test yourself on Testing Carbonates
How could you confirm that carbonates produce carbon dioxide when they react with dilute acids?
Why is dilute nitric acid added to a solution before it is tested for halide ions?
What ions do carbonates contain?
