Answer:
Why can NaHCO3 be used to neutralise an acid? ... And more than just that, carbonic acid is an unstable acid, which means it easily decomposes into water and carbon dioxide. Therefore, when sodium bicarbonate is added to a strong acid solution, carbon dioxide gas is emitted, leaving the solution totally neutral.
