  3. C \( \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \) and \( \mathrm{N} a_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} \)
  4. D \( \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} \) and \( \mathrm{NaOH} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \) and \( \mathrm{N} a \mathrm{OH} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \) is unstable with \( \mathrm{NaOH} \), because \( \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \) is a basic salt, therefore, will react with \( \mathrm{NaOH} \) and form
\( \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} \) and water
\( \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}+\mathrm{NaOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \)
