Using dilute sulphuric acid how would you differentiate between:
Sodium sulphide and sodium carbonate.
How would you identify the gaseous products evolved.
Solution
Sodium sulphide → H2S
Na2S + H2SO4→ Na2SO4 + H2 S→Turns lead acetate paper silvery black
Sodium carbonate → CO2
Na CO + H9SO4 → Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2
CO2 — Turns lime water milky.
