Solution
The correct option is A11g Before the reaction: NaHCO321g+CH3COOH15g→CH3COONa+H2O+CO2
Total mass before the reaction =21+15
Mass of the residue after the reaction=25g
let x gram of CO2 be liberated
Total mass after reaction =25+x
According to the law of conservation of mass, Δm=0
i.e., massafterthereaction−massbeforethereaction=0(i) 25+x−36=0
or x=36−25=11g
Therefore, mass of CO2 released = 11g
