Answer:Ethanoic (CH3COOH) acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) to form sodium ethanoate (CH3COONa), water and carbon dioxide gas. Hence salt X is sodium ethanoate and the gas evolved is CO2. The chemical equation of the reaction involved is:
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 → CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

A substitution reaction occurs when a mixture of methane and chlorine is exposed to ultraviolet light - typically sunlight - and the organic product is chloromethane.
The reaction can be written as:
Ch4+Cl2 →Ch3Cl+HCl
A composition reaction of solid carbon and hydrogen occurs giving result as a methane gas.
2 H2 (g) + C (s) → CH4 (g)
Methane can not be subjected to addition reaction as its a saturated alkane.
