Options
- AA and B only
- BB and C only
- CC only
- DB only
Correct answer
B. B and C only
Step-by-step solution
Compounds which are more acidic then H 2 CO 3 , gives CO 2 gas on reaction with NaHCO 3 . Compound B i.e. Benzoic acid and compound C i.e. picric acid both are more acidic than H 2 CO 3 . equilibrium favours forward direction and CO 2 ↑ is liberated. Equilibrium favours backward direction and CO 2 ↑ is not liberated.
