You can identify the presence of a metal carbonate by conducting an acid test. When a metal carbonate reacts with a dilute acid, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which can be observed as bubbling or fizzing. Additionally, if you pass the gas through limewater, it will turn cloudy due to the formation of calcium carbonate, indicating the presence of carbonate ions.
Taking carbonate (CO3^2-) as 60 g/mole, the equivalent mass of metal would be 60/2 = 30 since carbonate is 2- anion
When copper carbonate reacts with potassium, it forms copper metal and potassium carbonate. This reaction is a redox reaction where copper is reduced and potassium is oxidized.
sodium carbonate
MeCO3 where Me is a metal.
Sodium Carbonate Potassium carbonate Lithium carbonate Magnesium carbonate
Because when you use a certain metal say magnesium oxide with hydrochloric acid you will get: magnesium chloride magnesium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = salt + water + carbon dioxide.
no
Magnesium carbonate is a metal carbonate that does not decompose easily at room temperature or below.
No, it is not. Calcium is a metal but calcium carbonate is not.
Calcium is a metal
The word equation for the reaction between acid and metal carbonate is acid + metal carbonate → salt + water + carbon dioxide.
metal carbonate + acid = metal salt + carbon dioxide + water e.g. calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O +CO2
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is a metal carbonate that is soluble in water. It forms a basic solution upon dissolving in water.
To prove that a salt is a carbonate of a metal, you can add an acid to the salt. If carbon dioxide gas is produced, it indicates the presence of a carbonate. This can be further confirmed by testing the gas with limewater; if it turns milky, it confirms the presence of carbon dioxide, which suggests the salt is a carbonate of a metal.
When a metal carbonate reacts with an acid, the products are a salt, carbon dioxide gas, and water. The salt formed will depend on the specific metal in the carbonate and the acid used in the reaction.

When copper carbonate reacts with potassium, it forms copper metal and potassium carbonate. This reaction is a redox reaction where copper is reduced and potassium is oxidized.
