The gas released when baking soda is mixed with vinegar, is
- A$\mathrm{CO}$
- Correct answerB$\mathrm{CO}_{2}$
- C$\mathrm{CH}_{4}$
- D$\mathrm{O}_{2}$
Solution
$\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3(s)}+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}_{(i)} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2(g)}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(i)}+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}_{(a q)}+\mathrm{Na}^{+}$(aq)
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
