Hi! I really really need help in this question:

what observation is expected when:

1. an acid (nitric acid, HNO3) is added to a solution containing carbonate or bicarbonate ions?

2. silver ion is added to a solution containing chloride (or bromide or iodide) ions?

Please help and explain i have no idea what this is. thank you very very much!

acida + carbonates yield salt, water, and carbon dioxide

silver chloride is insoluble and will precipate out (it looks cloudy).
