Açıklama
A solution containing carbonate when treated with hydrochloric acid, produces a colourless, odourless gas (carbon dioxide) that turns lime water milky.
For example, when hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with sodium carbonate (Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\)), it releases carbon dioxide (CO\(_2\)) gas, which is colourless and odourless.
