Answer:
C. III
Explanation:
When acetic acid (CH3COOH) is added to sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solution, and a burning splinter is brought near the mouth of each test tube, then the splinter would be extinguished due to the evolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas from the test tube. Therefore, student should add accetic acid to sodium bicarbonate solution.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3→ CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
