Question 1 Report

Which of the following subtances will not produce effervescence with dilute hydeochloric acid?
Answer Details
Sodium chloride will not produce effervescence with dilute hydrochloric acid. When a substance reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, it produces bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, which causes effervescence. Copper (II) trioxocarbonate (IV), potassium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV), and zinc granules are all carbonates that react with hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas and effervescence. Sodium chloride, on the other hand, is a halide that does not react with hydrochloric acid, and therefore does not produce effervescence.
