When benzene sulphonic acid and p -nitrophenol are treated with NaHCO ₃ , the gases released respectively are
Options
- ASO ₂, NO ₂
- BSO ₂, NO
- CSO ₂, CO ₂
- DCO ₂, CO ₂
Correct answer
D. CO ₂, CO ₂
Step-by-step solution
Benzene sulphonic acid and p-nitrophenol react with NaHCO ₃ and evolve CO ₂ gas. Because benezene sulphonic acid and p -nitro phenol are stronger acids with H ₂ CO ₃ (i.e., H ₂ O + CO ₂ ) so, they are capable to evolve CO ₂ with NaHCO ₃ . HCO ₃⁻+ Acid H ⁺ H ₂ O + CO ₂
