The compound, which evolves carbon dioxide on treatment with aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCl}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CONH}_{2}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OOOC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{C}O-\mathrm{Cl}\) hydrolyses to form \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\) even at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) which subsequently reacts with \(NaHCO_{3}\) (sodium bicarbonate) present in the same medium to form carbon dioxide…
