उत्तर
When a few drops of acetic acid added to a test-tube containing sodium bicarbonate powder its leads to the formation of sodium acetate along with release of carbon dioxide gas, which is colourless and odourless gas. Both solid sodium bicarbonate and its aqueous solution will react with acetic acid.
Following is the chemical equation for the reaction:
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 → CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O
Hence, the correct answer is Formation of bubbles of a colourless and odourless gas
