Answer:

An organic compound X of molecular formula c2h4o2 turns blue litmus to red and give brisk effervescence with na2co3 and nahco3 identify X and name of the gas responsible for effervescence

X is ethanoic acid (CH3COOH). It is acidic and hence turns blue litmus red. It releases carbon dioxide (CO2) when treated with Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 which is responsible for effervescence
