Carbon dioxide turns lime water milky. Milkiness disappears on passage of excess CO2. It shows no effect on potassium dichromate solution or KMnO4 solution. CO2 is a neutral-to-litmus acidic gas.
What is the reaction for heating calcium carbonate?
Answer
Balanced equation: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2. Observation: carbon dioxide gas is evolved and calcium oxide remains as residue.
What is the reaction for heating zinc carbonate?
Answer
Balanced equation: ZnCO3 → ZnO + CO2. Observation: carbon dioxide gas is evolved and zinc oxide remains as residue.
