the acid eats away at carbonates
Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.
When acids react with carbonates, carbon dioxide is produced. You can test this by waiting for the chemical reaction to take place and then using a bung to insert the gas into lime water!
Carbon itself is a non-metal and does not react with acids or bases. However, compounds containing carbon in various forms like organic compounds can react with both acids and bases. Carbon dioxide, produced when carbon-containing compounds are burned, can react with water to form carbonic acid, which is a weak acid.
Acids.
Indicators are compounds that react with acids and bases to make certain colors. (:
Argon is an inert gas and does not react with acids. It is chemically stable and does not easily form compounds with other elements, including acids.
Neutralization
Nitrogen itself does not typically react with acids. However, nitrogen can form acids when it combines with hydrogen, as seen in compounds like ammonia (NH3) and hydrazine (N2H4), which can react with acids.
Esters are compounds that form when organic acids react with alcohols.
Samarium can react with oxygen, water, and acids to form various compounds. It can also react with halogens such as chlorine and bromine to form halides.
Copper can also react with sulfur, chlorine, and acids to form different compounds.
Silver generally does not react with oxygen or water. However, it can react with sulfur compounds in the air to form tarnish. Silver can also react with certain acids and salts to form silver compounds.
