Interpretation:
The physical appearance of the products upon reaction needs to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The evolution of a gaseous product leads to the formation of gas bubbles in the reaction flask. The bubbles can be easily seen by the naked eye.
Answer to Problem 3STP
Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for Correct Option:
The reaction leads to the formation of carbon dioxide, CO2 gas. CO2 gas is sparingly soluble in water under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. Hence, CO2 gas remains in the reaction mixture as gas bubbles.
Reasons for Incorrect Options:
The aqueous species are all colorless. Moreover, since the reactants as well as the product in the given reaction are in aqueous form thus, the species are present in completely soluble form or no precipitate is formed. Also, water is completely colorless and easily dissolves all the aqueous species. Thus, the options (B), (C) and (D) are incorrect.
