    Certain chemical properties of a substance are given below.
    (i) It turns methyl orange red.
    (ii) It turns turmeric paper red.
    (iii) It reacts with zinc and a gas is evolved.
    (iv) It reacts with solid sodium carbonate to give brisk effervescence.
    Which of the above properties are shown by dilute HCI?

    A) (i) and (ii) only

    B) (i) and (iii) only

    C) (i), (iii) and (iv) only                               

    D) (iii) and (iv) only

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[HCl\] is an acid thus, turns methyl orange red. \[HCl\] reacts with zinc and hydrogen gas is evolved. \[Zn+2HCl\to ZnC{{l}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}\uparrow \] When HCI reacts with sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is evolved with brisk effervescence. \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+2HCl\to 2NaCl {{H}_{2}}O+C{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \]
