Questions: Mathematics Physics Chemistry Which of the following compounds reacts with NaHCO3 giving CO2 ? a) b) c) CH3CCOOH d)

Transcript text: Mathematics Physics Chemistry Which of the following compounds reacts with $\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$ giving $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ ? a) $\square$ b) c) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CCOOH}$ d)

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the compounds

Compound a) is oxalic acid (HOOC-COOH).
Compound b) is salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid).
Compound c) is acetic acid (CH3COOH).
Compound d) is 2,4-dinitroaniline.

Step 2: Determine the reaction with NaHCO₃

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) reacts with acids to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂), water, and a salt.
The general reaction is: Acid + NaHCO₃ → Salt + CO₂ + H₂O.

Step 3: Identify which compounds are acids
