Which gas is evolved, when hydrochloric acid is added in the first test tube containing small pieces of marble and then in second test tube containing zinc granules?
In first test tube, the following reaction involves:
CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CO₂ + H₂O + CaCl₂
CO2 gas is evolved here.
In second test tube, the following reaction takes place:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl + H₂ (here H₂ gas is evolved).
