Correct answer: A
- Key principle
A compound liberates with only if it is more acidic than carbonic acid and can react as:
and then
So we need a compound that can provide a sufficiently acidic proton.
- Check each option
Option A:
This is trimethylammonium chloride, an ammonium salt.
The cation can donate a proton:
and then
Hence, is liberated.
Option B:
This is tetramethylammonium hydroxide, a base, not an acid.
Since it does not provide an acidic proton, it will not liberate with .
Option C:
The option is not visible/provided in the question statement. So only the shown options can be evaluated.
Option D:
This is methylamine, a base.
It is not acidic enough to react with to produce .
So it will not liberate .
- Conclusion
Among the given options, only Option A contains an acidic proton on the ammonium ion and reacts with to produce .
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: A
My derived answer: A
They match.
