Answer the following:
Kamali observes that metal carbonates react with acids to produce carbon dioxide, whereas most metals react with dilute acids to produce hydrogen.
Justify this difference using suitable chemical equations and explain how the nature of the reactant determines the gaseous product.
i. Write the chemical reaction between a metal carbonate and an acid?
ii. Write the chemical reaction between acid and metal?
iii. Describe one test to distinguish between the two gases.
