Correct answer: A

  1. Key principle

A compound liberates CO2CO_2CO2​ with NaHCO3NaHCO_3NaHCO3​ only if it is more acidic than carbonic acid and can react as:

HA+NaHCO3→NaA+H2CO3HA + NaHCO_3 \rightarrow NaA + H_2CO_3HA+NaHCO3​→NaA+H2​CO3​

and then

H2CO3→CO2+H2OH_2CO_3 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2OH2​CO3​→CO2​+H2​O

So we need a compound that can provide a sufficiently acidic proton.


  1. Check each option

Option A: (CH3)3NH+Cl−(CH_3)_3NH^+Cl^-(CH3​)3​NH+Cl−

This is trimethylammonium chloride, an ammonium salt.

The cation (CH3)3NH+(CH_3)_3NH^+(CH3​)3​NH+ can donate a proton:

(CH3)3NH++HCO3−→(CH3)3N+H2CO3(CH_3)_3NH^+ + HCO_3^- \rightarrow (CH_3)_3N + H_2CO_3(CH3​)3​NH++HCO3−​→(CH3​)3​N+H2​CO3​

and then

H2CO3→CO2+H2OH_2CO_3 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2OH2​CO3​→CO2​+H2​O

Hence, CO2CO_2CO2​ is liberated.


Option B: (CH3)4N+OH−(CH_3)_4N^+OH^-(CH3​)4​N+OH−

This is tetramethylammonium hydroxide, a base, not an acid.

Since it does not provide an acidic proton, it will not liberate CO2CO_2CO2​ with NaHCO3NaHCO_3NaHCO3​.


Option C:

The option is not visible/provided in the question statement. So only the shown options can be evaluated.


Option D: CH3NH2CH_3NH_2CH3​NH2​

This is methylamine, a base.

It is not acidic enough to react with NaHCO3NaHCO_3NaHCO3​ to produce CO2CO_2CO2​.

So it will not liberate CO2CO_2CO2​.


  1. Conclusion

Among the given options, only Option A contains an acidic proton on the ammonium ion and reacts with NaHCO3NaHCO_3NaHCO3​ to produce CO2CO_2CO2​.

A\boxed{A}A​
