The products formed when sodium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated strongly are ____________
A. \(CO _{2} \& NaH\) B. \(Na -\) \({ }_{2} CO _{3}, CO _{2}\) \& \(H _{2} O\) C. \(CO _{2}\) \& \(H _{2} O\) D. \(Na _{2} CO _{3}\) \& \(H _{2} O\)
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
When sodium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated strongly, sodium trioxocarbonate (IV), carbon (IV) oxide and water are formed. \(2 NaHCO _{3} \longrightarrow \Delta a _{2} CO _{3}+ H _{2} O + CO _{2}Z\)
