Why dilute H2SO4 cannot be used for the laboratory preparation of carbon dioxide?
The dilute sulphuric acid reacts with marble to form calcium sulphate which being insoluble forms a protective coating on the surface of the marble. Hence further action by acid is stopped.
Explain the following phenomenon by means of balanced equations:
(i) When exhaling is made through a tube passing into a solution of lime water, solution becomes turgid.
(ii) The turbidity of the above solution.
(iii) eventually disappears when continued exhaling is made through it.
Explain why silicon tetrachloride is hydrolyzed but carbon tetrachloride is not hydrolysed.
