Carbon-14 labelled propanoic acid, $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2{-}^{14}\mathrm{C}(=\mathrm{O})-\mathrm{OH}$, is treated separately with two reagents.

$\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2^{14}\mathrm{COOH}$ + NaH $\to$ salt + gas A

$\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2^{14}\mathrm{COOH}$ + $\mathrm{NaN}{\mathrm{H}}_2$ $\to$ salt + gas B

If X is the sum of the molar masses of A and B, find the value of X - 16.
