What happens when acids react with metal and metal carbonates
Acid reacts with metal produces metal salt and hydrogen gas.
For example: Sodium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride salt and hydrogen gas.
2Na + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2
Acid reacts with metal carbonates produces metal salt, water and carbon dioxide.
For example: Sodium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride, water and carbon dioxide.
2HCl + Na2CO3 → 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
