Explain the following:
Lead carbonate does not react with dilute HCl.

A student added 10 g of calcium carbonate in a rigid container, secured it tightly and started to heat it. After some time, an increase in pressure was observed, the pressure reading was then noted at intervals of 5 mins and plotted against time, in a graph as shown below. During which time interval did maximum decomposition take place?
Take a clean test tube with a holder and pour some dilute hydrochloric acid. Add a few pieces of magnesium ribbon pieces slowly. What do you observe? Now show a burning match stick near the mouth of the test tube. Do you hear any sound? The gas burns with a pop sound. From this, it is observed that hydrogen gas has been formed due to the reaction between acid and metal.
