Answer 1) When a strong acid like 
reacts with 
usually the equilibrium shifts to the right because
As per the Le chatelier's principle "if in any reaction, a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the any of the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change." So, in the given reaction when reacts with it generates carbon dioxide and water as a by product, if we are adding it will remove some of the 
molecule from the reaction mixture, which then tends to shift the equilibrium towards right.
Answer 2) The same would be observed in this case, if we replace with HCl it will shift the equilibrium to the right as their will be generation of AgCl as the precipitate.
As per the definition of Le Chatelier's principle if we add reactants in the reaction the equilibrium will tend to move towards right, also if we replace the products or remove it then too it will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, in this reaction you are removing

Answer:
a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
Explanation:
It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.
But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.
Thus the correct option is (a).
