Dilute HCl group

--
Carbonate CO3
All carbonate except those of alkali metal and ammonium are very slightly or difficultly
.soluble in water .Accordingly reactions in solutions are only carried out in case of the soluble salts
Solid Salt + dil HCl
Effervescence and evolution of colorless and odorless Gas turbid the limewater (Ca (OH) 2
Na2CO3 + 2HCl = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2

Sodium Carbonate + Silver Nitrate= Silver Carbonate (white ppt) + Sodium Nitrate
a) Precipitate + dil Nitric Acid. = Soluble
b) Precipitate +Ammonium hydroxide = Soluble
c) Precipitate + boiling = Black precipitate
Salt solution + two drops of phenolphthalein: (formation of pink color solution because of )5
it is alkali effect.)
