Chemistry - Salt Analysis Question with Solution | TestHub

The reaction of ${\mathrm{NaHCO}}_3$ with dil. ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ produces carbon dioxide (${\mathrm{CO}}_2$), which is a colourless and odourless gas.

Reaction:

$$2{\mathrm{NaHCO}}_3(s)+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4(aq)\to {\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4(aq)+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}(l)+2{\mathrm{CO}}_2(g)$$
