One mole of one of the sodium salts listed below, having carbon content close to 14.3 % produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide upon heating (atomic mass Na =23, H =1, C =12, O =16 ). The salt is
Options
- AC ₂ H ₅ COONa
- BNaHCO ₃
- CHCOONa
- DCH ₃ COONa
Correct answer
B. NaHCO ₃
Step-by-step solution
2 NaHCO ₃ Na ₂ CO ₃+ H ₂ O + CO ₂ % of C = 12 84 100=14.28 % This Question can be done by checking % of carbon 14.2 % comes only in NaHCO ₃
