$\displaystyle 1$ gram of solid sodium chloride was taken in a clean and dry test tube and concentrated sulphuric acid was added to it.(i)Name the gas evolved in the reaction.(ii)What will be observed when this gas is tested with (I) dry, and (II) wet blue litmus paper ? Write your conclusion about the nature (acidic/basic) of this gas.Some metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas. Illustrate it with an example. How will you test the presence of this gas?
