The correct Answer is:
To determine which compounds form salts with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), we need to consider the nature of the compounds that can react with NaHCO₃. Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base and can react with acids, particularly carboxylic acids, to form salts, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water (H₂O). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Nature of Sodium Bicarbonate**: - Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) is a weak base. It can react with acids to form salts. 2. **Recognize the Type of Compounds that React with NaHCO₃**: - Sodium bicarbonate primarily reacts with carboxylic acids (RCOOH) because they have a highly acidic hydrogen atom (the hydrogen attached to the carboxyl group). 3. **Write the Reaction**: - The general reaction between a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) and sodium bicarbonate can be represented as: \[ RCOOH + NaHCO₃ \rightarrow RCOO^{-}Na^{+} + CO₂ + H₂O \] - Here, RCOO⁻Na⁺ is the salt formed. 4. **Evaluate the Given Compounds**: - Check each compound to see if it contains a carboxylic acid functional group (–COOH). If it does, it can react with NaHCO₃ to form a salt. 5. **Conclusion**: - Only the compounds that contain a carboxylic acid will react with sodium bicarbonate to form a salt. Other functional groups such as alcohols, amines, or esters do not have sufficiently acidic protons to react with NaHCO₃. ### Final Answer: - The correct compounds that form salts with sodium bicarbonate are those that contain carboxylic acid groups.
