Question
Using dilute sulphuric acid only how will you distinguish between the following: State clearly the chemical reactions taking place and the tests for the gase2ous products.

Answer

(a) Magnesium carbonate and magnesium sulphide.

The dissolution reaction of magnesite in sulphuric acid solutions can be described by the following equation: MgCO3(s)+H2SO4(aq)→MgSO4(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O(l) , the gas CO2 turns lime water milky while magnesium sulphide not turn milky.

(b) Magnesium and lead.- when magnishium react with sulphuric acid then product hydrogen gas evolve which produce pop sound near flame while lead not

Mg ( s ) Magnesium + H 2 SO 4 ( aq ) Sulphuric acid → MgSO 4 ( aq ) Magnesium sulfate + H 2 ( g ) Hydrogen
