Which gas is released when sodium carbonate is added to ethanoic acid?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Carbon dioxide

Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate in an acid–carbonate reaction. The products are sodium ethanoate, water, and carbon dioxide: 2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 → 2CH3COONa + H2O + CO2. Effervescence occurs because of the escaping carbon dioxide, which also turns limewater milky. Therefore option A is correct; the other gases are not released in this reaction.
