The correct answer is (B) Adding a dilute solution of HCl
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The presence of carbonate ions can be tested by adding a dilute acid to the solution. The acid displaces Carbon (IV) oxide from the solution. Using HCl, and a carbonate of metal X.
XCO₃₍s₎ + 2HCl₍aq₎⇒ XCl₂₍aq₎+ H₂O₍l₎ + CO₂₍g₎
The gas produced is tested using calcium hydroxide to confirm whether it is carbon (IV) oxide.
When a man travels from earth to space, the mass of the person, defined as the amount energy a matter has remains constant. However, when he moves to space, gravity decreases until such time that there is no gravity that acts on the person. Weight thus changes or decreases until the point of state called weightlessness.
C) can give up electrons more readily than others.
B is true since evaporation changes a liquid into a gas and dondensation turns a gas into a liquid
