(N/A) Metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates react with acids to produce the corresponding salt,carbon dioxide,and water.
$(b)$ Chemical equations:
$(i)$ Metal carbonate: $Na_{2}CO_{3}(s) + 2HCl(aq) \rightarrow 2NaCl(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)$
$(ii)$ Metal hydrogen carbonate: $NaHCO_{3}(s) + HCl(aq) \rightarrow NaCl(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)$
$(c)$ The gas evolved during the reaction is carbon dioxide $(CO_{2})$.
$(d)$ When carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water $(Ca(OH)_{2})$,it turns milky due to the formation of white precipitate of calcium carbonate $(CaCO_{3})$.
