an acid can react with
a.Agcl
b.na2co3
c.pbso4
d.na2so4
Answer is b. Na2CO3
Sodium carbonate reacts with acid to form sodium chloride and water and release carbondioxide.
Sodium carbonate is basic in nature and thus reacts with acids. It is derived from NaOH, a strong base and weak acid, carbonic acid.
Na2CO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) --------> 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2 (g)
The above reaction is a double displacement reaction. (not neutralization as neutralization reaction occurs between an acid and a base).
AgCl does not react as Ag is less reactive than hydrogen and cannot displace hydrogen in the acid.
PbSO4 is an acidic salt while Na2SO4 is a neutral salt and both these do not react with acids.
