Among acetic acid, phenol and n-hexanol, which of the following compounds will react with NaHCO3 solution to give sodium salt and carbon dioxide?

1. Acetic acid
2. n-Hexanol
3. Acetic acid and phenol
4. Phenol

Correct answer: Acetic acid

Solution

Acetic acid reacts with NaHCO3 to form its sodium salt and release CO2 because it is a stronger acid than phenol and alcohols, which do not react with NaHCO3 under normal conditions.
