Solution
The correct option is CNaHCO3,Na2CO3
2NaHCO3(s) = Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g).
Because of this reaction, it is often used in cooking under the name baking soda as it releases CO2 and produces foam as in cakes.
Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2NaHCO3
Sodium carbonate react with carbon dioxide and water to produce sodium bicarbonate.
