Question

Name the gas which is formed when acetic acid reacts with sodium carbonate ?

• A. $C{O}_2$
• B. $S{O}_2$
• C. $H_2$
• D. $S{O}_3$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$C{O}_2$

$\underset{\text{Acetic Acid}}{2C{H}_{3}COOH}+\underset{\text{Sodium Carbonate}}{N{a}_{2}C{O}_3}\to \underset{\text{Sodium Acetate}}{2C{H}_{3}COONa}+\underset{\text{Water}}{H_{2}O}+\underset{\text{Carbon dioxide}}{C{O}_2}$
