Prateek took a piece of burning charcoal and collected the gas evolved in a test tube.
(a) How will he find the nature of the gas?
(b) Write down word equations of all the reactions taking place in this process?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) When charcoal burnt then carbon dioxide gas is formed. This gas turns lime water into milky substance. It can also be tested by red and blue litmus. The solution of gas turns blue litmus into red so it is acidic.
(b) Carbon+Oxygen`to`Carobn dioxide
Carbon dioxide+Lime water`to`Milky
Carbon dioxide+Water`tounderset(("turns blue litmus red"))("Carbonic acid")`
