Metal compound A reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce effervescence.



Answer -

The gas evolved extinguishes a burning candle. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction if one of the compounds formed is calcium chloride.


Answer
As metal compound released is Calcium Chloride the gas evolved here is CO2. Hence metal A should be Calcium Carbonate. Hence the reaction between Calcium Carbonate and HCl is

CaCO(s) + 2HCl (Aq) → CaCl2( Aq) + CO(g) + H2O (l)
