✔ 最佳答案
(i)
Marble chips contains mainly calcium carbonate. It is the property of acid that an acid solution can reacts with metal carbonate to give a salt, carbon dioxide and water.
CaCO3(s) + 2HNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
(ii)
Dilute nitric acid is an oxidizing agent, while zinc is a reducing agent. Therefore, no hydrogen gas would be formed when dilute nitric acid and zinc react. Instead, a redox reaction occurs. Dilute Nitric acid is reduced to nitrogen monoxide, while zinc is oxidized to zinc ion.
3Zn(aq) + 8HNO3(aq) → 3Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 4H2O(l) + 2NO(g)
or: 3Zn(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) → 3Zn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l) + 2NO(g)
