Question
State your observation when:
Decomposition of bicarbonates by dil. H2SO4
2NaHCO3 + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2
2KHCO3 + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2

Solution
Dilute sulphuric acid liberates carbon dioxide from metallic carbonates and bicarbonates. Carbon dioxide, when bubbled into a test tube containing calcium hydroxide solution, turns it milky.
