Correct answer: C. CH3CH2COOH

  • A. CH3COOCH3
  • B. CH3CH2OH
  • C. CH3CH2COOH
  • D. CH3COOOCH3

Explanation

The substance that produces carbon dioxide with sodium bicarbonate is CH3COOH ( Acetic acid).When carboxylic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate solution, carbon dioxide is evolved with a brisk effervescence along with sodium acetate and water.CH3COOH + NaHCO3 → CO2 +H2O + NaCH3COO

About Carboxylic Acids

Carboxylic acids are named and studied through the combined effects of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, their preparation, acidity and hydrogen bonding. Reactions include neutralisation, esterification, reduction and conversion into acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters and amides, with emphasis on how these derivatives interconvert.
