When an ant stings a person, the solution of substance A is rubbed on the stung area of the skin to get relief from pain. The substance A is also used in kitchen for cooking purposes. Another susbtance B is sour in taste and contains an organic acid C. It is used in making pickles. When a solution of A is mixed with B, then a change D takes place to produce bubbles of gas E.
What type of change is D ?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the substances A and B, the change D that occurs when they are mixed, and the type of change that D represents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Substance A**: - The problem states that substance A is used to relieve pain from an ant sting and is also used in cooking. This suggests that substance A is a basic substance. - The most common substance that fits this description is **baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)**, which has the chemical formula **NaHCO₃**. 2. **Identify Substance B**: - Substance B is described as sour in taste, contains an organic acid, and is used in making pickles. - The substance that fits this description is **vinegar**, which primarily contains **acetic acid (CH₃COOH)**. 3. **Identify Change D**: - When a solution of A (baking soda) is mixed with B (vinegar), a chemical reaction occurs. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{NaHCO}_3 + \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COONa} + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2 \uparrow \] - In this reaction, sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide gas are produced. The formation of bubbles indicates the release of gas. 4. **Determine the Type of Change D**: - The change D that occurs when baking soda is mixed with vinegar is a **chemical change**. This is because new substances (sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide) are formed during the reaction. ### Conclusion: The type of change D is a **chemical change**. ---
