Which pair of substances would most likely result in the production of a gas when reacting with an acid?
2 answers:
Answer: metal and carbonate
Explanation:
According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions
in water.
An acid is represented as :
1. When metal is treated with an acid such as , if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its salt solution and thus produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
2. When carbonates are treated with acid, double displacement takes place ad carbon dioxide is released as a gas.

we have to know the spin of valence electrons of carbon-14
There are four unpaired electron which are called as valence electron also.The spin of the four unpaired electron is either upfilled or down filled.
The ground state electronic configuration of C-atom is 1s²2s²2p² and one electron from 2s orbital gets excited to 2p orbital. The elctronic configuration in excited state is 1s²2s¹.
The electron jumps because half-filled orbitals are more stable. Exchange energy is less than pairing energy.
