Fire Extinguisher

Question

A white solid $X$ reacts with dil. $H C l$ to give colourless gas which is used in fire extinguishers. The solid $X$ is:
$N a C l$
$C H_{3} C O O N a$
$N a_{2} C O_{3}$
$N a H C O_{3}$

A

N a C l

B

C H_{3} C O O N a

C

N a_{2} C O_{3}

D

N a H C O_{3}

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Sodium bicarbonate can be used for fire extinguishers purpose as it releases carbon dioxide.
The following reaction takes place:

$N a H C O_{3} (X) + H C l \to N a C l + C O_{2} + H_{2} O$

Hence the correct option is $D$ .
