Four students added a small amount of ethanoic acid to sodium hydrogencarbonate. The gas evolved was tested for its behaviour with burning splinter and lime water. They reported their observations as given below.
Student | Gas evolved | Action on burning splinter | Action on lime water |
A | CO2 | The flame of splinter extinguishes and gas does not burn | Turned milky |
B | SO2 | The splinter burns brightly and the gas burns with a pop | Turned green |
C | NO2 | The gas does not burn but the splinter burns with a hissing sound | Turned black |
D | O2 | The gas burns with a yellow flame and the splinter extinguishes | Turned purple |
The correct observations have been reported by student:
(1) A
(2) B
(3) C
(4) D"
Correct answer: (1) A
Explanation: When a small amount of ethanoic acid is added to sodium hydrogencarbonate, it produces sodium carboxylate, carbon dioxide, and water. The carbon dioxide gas evolved turns lime water milky.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is given below:
$CH_3COOH (aq) + NaHCO_3 (s) → CH_3COONa (s) + CO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) $
