Which of the following compound react with NaHCO3 solution to give sodium salt and carbon dioxide

Options

(a) Phenol
(b) Acetic acid
(c) n-hexanol
(d) Nitric acid

Correct Answer:

Acetic acid

Explanation:

CH₃COOH(Acetic acid) + NaHCO₃(Sodium bicarbonate) → CH₃COONa(Sodium acetate) + CO₂ (Carbon dioxide) + H₂O(Water). In this reaction, acetic acid (CH₃COOH) reacts with sodium bicarbonate(NaHCO₃) to gives sodium salt and carbon dioxide.
