Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate Added Acetic Evolves Which Following Statements About Evolved

Sodium hydrogen carbonate, when added to acetic acid, evolves a gas. Which of the following statements are true about … ) and (iv) D….

Answers:

B – When sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to acetic acid, carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas is evolved. 

NaHCO₃ + CH₃COOH CH₃COONa+ H₂O + CO₂ 

(Sodium hydrogen carbonate + Acetic acid = Sodium acetate + water + carbon dioxide) Carbon dioxide supports all the above three properties. CO₂ turns lime water milky, it is a non-supporter of combustion and is absorbed by strong alkalis such as NaOH.
