Iman and Arianna were given four different powders. They had to design a way of finding out if the powders were metals, carbonates or neither. 
Here is their plan: 
A: Add one spatula of powder to a test tube. 
B: Add 5 cm3 of hydrochloric acid to the test tube. 
C: Fit a bung loosely on top of the test tube. 
D: If the powder bubbles, remove the bung and hold a lighted splint close to the top of the tube. 
E: Repeat steps A and B. Fit a bung with a delivery tube into the test tube — put the other end of the delivery tube into a test tube of limewater. 

Here are their results:

Powder Observations when the acid is added Observations when a light splint was used Observations when the gas was bubbled through limewater
1 Lots of bubbles produced quickly Heard a pop noise No change
2 No bubbles No change No change
3 A few bubbles produced slowly Heard a pop noise No change
4 Lots of bubbles produced quickly Flame went out  Limewater went cloudy
