5. (i)Give the products that are formed when acids react with:
(a) Carbonate
(b) Alkali
(c) Reactive metal

(ii) Describe a test to identify the gas produced in 5 (i)(a) and 5(i)(c).

8. Paul was preparing to clean Mr Alim office. He usually cleans the kettle with vinegar
and the tiles and toilet with muratic acid (Hydrochloric acid). However, the labels from
the bottle containing the two cleaning agents were removed. Paul attempted to
distinguish these two cleaning agents by smelling them. However, he was still unsure.
Plan and design and experiment Paul can undertake to determine which bottle contains the
vinegar and which contains the muratic acid. ( Muratic acid is a stronger acid than vinegar).
Include an outline procedure for the experiment, materials necessary and what evidence will
result from your procedure to distinguish the two acids. ( 15 marks)
