AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information about the organic compound B with the molecular formula C₂H₄O₂. ### Step 1: Identify the Compound The molecular formula C₂H₄O₂ suggests that the compound could be an acid. Given that it reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃) to produce a gas, we can infer that it is likely an acid. ### Step 2: Reaction with Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate When an acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate, it produces a salt, water, and carbon dioxide gas. The general reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Acid} + \text{Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate} \rightarrow \text{Salt} + \text{Water} + \text{Carbon Dioxide} \] ...
