![### Question:
If HCl is added to each of the following substances, which will produce CO₂ gas?
- ☐ KBr
- ☐ CaCO₃
- ☐ NaOH
- ☐ HC₂H₃O₂
### Explanation:
This question asks which of the listed substances will react with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas. When examining chemical reactions:
- **KBr (Potassium bromide):** No reaction producing CO₂.
- **CaCO₃ (Calcium carbonate):** Reacts with HCl to produce CO₂. This option will produce the gas
through the reaction:
\[
\text{CaCO}_3 (s) + 2 \text{HCl} (aq) \rightarrow \text{CaCl}_2 (aq) + \text{CO}_2 (g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l)
\]
- **NaOH (Sodium hydroxide):** Reacts with HCl, but does not produce CO₂. Instead, it forms water and salt.
- **HC₂H₃O₂ (Acetic acid):** No reaction involving the production of CO₂ when mixed with HCl.
The correct choice is **CaCO₃**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd9db5004-41b4-46a8-9c5d-150bc716e4bd%2Ff40a998f-afaa-4e7d-a269-488d2e5b75cf%2F8wma1q7_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
