Which salt is used for carbonate test |
| Answer» Carbonate ions, CO32- can be detected whether in a solid compound or in solution. An acid, such as dilute hydrochloric acid, is added to the test compound. Carbon dioxide gas bubbles if carbonate ions are present. Limewater is used to confirm that the gas is carbon dioxide. It turns from clear to milky when carbon dioxide is bubbled through. One can use cadmium carbonate,sodium carbonate e.t.c to detect carbonate...Any salt that contains carbonate can be used to carry carbonate test. | |
