When metal carbonates are strongly heated, in general, metal oxide and CO2 are obtained. However, carbonates such as
Na2CO3 are thermally stable and do not undergo thermal decomposition. Bicarbonates such as NaHCO3 upon heating
results their respective carbonates alongwith CO2. Ag2CO3 on the other hand when heated leaves behind a residue of Ag

22. (b) Na 2 CO3  HCl 
 NaHCO3  NaCl
NaHCO 3  HCl 
 NaCl  H 2 O  CO 2
From the above reactions statement-2 is clearly true that 2 moles of HCl are required for
complete neutralisation of Na 2 CO3 . Further the titre value using methyl orange corresponds the
complete neutralisation of Na 2 CO3 , the titre value using phenolphthalein corresponds only to
the neutralisation of Na2CO3 to NaHCO3, i.e., half of the value required by Na2CO3 solution. Hence
statement-1 is also true. But statement-2 is not correct explanation of statement-1.
23. (c) The ratio of the volume of gaseous rectants and products is in agreement with their molar ratio.
For example,
H 2  Cl 2  2HCl
The ratio of H 2 : Cl 2 : HCl by volume is 1 : 1 : 2 which is the same as their molar ratio.
24. (b) Volume occupied changes with change in temperature and pressure. For examples change in
temperature increase the K.E. of the molecules and gases expand and hence occupy more
volume.
