A metal compound A reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce effervescence. The gas evolved extinguishes a burning candle. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction if one of the compounds formed is calcium chloride.

The gas that extinguishes a burning candle is carbon dioxide. It is formed by the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on a metal carbonate or metal hydrogen carbonate and produces effervescence. Since one of the compounds formed is calcium chloride, this shows that the metal compound is calcium carbonate. It cannot be calcium hydrogen carbonate because calcium hydrogen carbonate is found in solution.
Thus, the metal compound A is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Calcium carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.
CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> CaCl2(aq) + CO2(S) + H2O(l)

(a)  CO2 

(b)  A must be a metal carbonate. CaCO3(s) + 2HCl → CaCl2(s) + H2O(l) + CO2↑

Which gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal? Write the chemical reaction when iron reacts with dilute H2SO4.

When reactive metals react with dilute hydrochloric acids, gives a salt and hydrogen gas Metal + Dilute acid → Salt + Hydrogen Reaction between Iron and H2SO4: Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 +...

0.84 g of metal carbonate reacts completely with 40 ml of H2SO4. What is equivalent weight of the metal-

Solution: weight of metal carbonate/GEW = NaXVa in lt 0.84/GEW = 0.5X40/1000 GEW of metal carbonate = 42 GEW of Metal = 42 - GEW of CO3-2 = 42-30 = 12g

How will you test for the gas which is liberated when hydrochloric acid reacts with an active metal?

When an active rnetal like Zn reacts with HCl, the gas produced burns with a pop sound which indicates that it is hydrogen gas.  Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> ZnCl2(s)+ H2(g)

Zinc liberates hydrogen gas when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid,whereas copper does not. Explain why?

Zinc is above hydrogen rvhereas copper is below hydrogen in the activity series of metals. That is why zinc displaces hydrogen from dilute hydrochloric acid, while copper does not.    ...

An organic compound 'X' of molecular formula C2H4O2 gives brisk effervescence with sodium bicarbonate. Give the name and formula of X.

'X' is ethanoic acid (an organic acid).  'X' --> CH3COOH CH3COOH + NaHCO3 -------> CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O Organic acid decomposes sodium bicarbonate and gives brisk effervescence of carbon dioxide gas.

A gas is liberated immediately with a brisk effervescence?

The liberated gas is carbon dioxide, CO2.  Lime water turns milky on passing CO2 through it.
