Question

Choose the correct option to complete the following reaction:

$4\text{Na (s)}+3{\text{CO}}_2\left(g\right)\to$

• A. ${\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{CO}}_3\left(s\right)+C\left(s\right)$
• B. ${\mathrm{NaHCO}}_3\left(s\right)+C\left(s\right)$
• C. ${\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(s\right)$
• D. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(s\right)+\mathrm{NaO}\left(g\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A ${\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{CO}}_3\left(s\right)+C\left(s\right)$

Sodium metal reacts with carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate along with carbon as a residue. The reaction involved is $4\text{Na (s)}+3{\text{CO}}_2\left(g\right)\to$ ${\text{Na}}_2{\text{CO}}_3\left(s\right)+\text{C}\left(s\right)$
