The correct Answer is:
To solve the question step by step, we will analyze the information provided and identify the substances involved, their properties, and the resulting gas produced from their reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Substance A**: - The question states that when an ant stings a person, a solution of substance A is used for relief. It is also mentioned that substance A is used in cooking. - Ant stings are acidic in nature, so to neutralize the sting, a basic substance is needed. A common basic substance used in cooking is **baking soda** (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃). - Therefore, **Substance A = Baking Soda (NaHCO₃)**. 2. **Identify Substance B**: - The question describes substance B as sour in taste and containing an organic acid, which is used in making pickles. - A common sour substance used in cooking and pickling is **vinegar**, which contains **acetic acid (CH₃COOH)**. - Therefore, **Substance B = Vinegar (which contains Acetic Acid)**. 3. **Identify the Organic Acid C**: - From the previous step, we established that the organic acid C present in vinegar is **acetic acid (CH₃COOH)**. 4. **Determine the Reaction**: - When a solution of A (baking soda) is mixed with B (vinegar), a chemical reaction occurs. - The reaction can be written as: \[ \text{NaHCO}_3 + \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COONa} + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2 \] - This reaction produces sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. 5. **Identify the Gas E**: - The question asks for the gas E produced during the reaction. From the balanced equation, we see that **carbon dioxide (CO₂)** is produced as a gas. - Therefore, **Gas E = Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)**. ### Final Answer: The gas E produced when a solution of substance A (baking soda) is mixed with substance B (vinegar) is **Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)**. ---
