Question

acetic acid was added to a solid 'X' kept in a test tube A
colorless, odourless gas 'Y' was evolved The gas was passed through
lime water, which turned milky Solid 'X' was :-(a) Sodium Hydroxide
'Y' is CO2(b) Sodium Bicarbonate 'Y' is CO2(c) Sodium Acetate(d)
Sodium Bicarbonate 'Y' is SO2 Give reason

Avni · Accepted Answer

When acetic acid added to solid X , then odourless and colourless
gas Y is evolved
Compound X is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and Y gas is
CO2 gas CO2 gas will turn lime water milky by
the formation of CaCO3 The reaction is :
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 → CH3COONa
+ CO2 + H2O
