2 Which gas is evolved when sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) is added to acetic acid?

Answer»

When sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to acetic acid, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is evolved.

NaHCO3+ CH3COOH CH3COONa+ H2O + CO2

(Sodium hydrogen carbonate + Acetic acid = Sodium acetate + water + carbon dioxide) Carbon dioxide supports all the above three properties. CO2turns lime water milky, it is a non-supporter of combustion and is absorbed by strong alkalis such as NaOH.
