When carbon monoxide is passed over solid caustic soda heated to \(200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), it forms

  1. A \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\)
  3. C HCOONa
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) HCOONa

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When carbon monoxide is passed over solid caustic soda at \(200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), sodium formate is obtained.
\(\mathrm{CO}+\mathrm{NaOH} \stackrel{200^{\circ} \mathrm{C} / 10 \mathrm{~atm}}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\text { Sodium formate }}{\mathrm{HCOONa}}\)
