When dilute Hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (NaHCO3), which is the product formed along with Sodium chloride (NaCl) and Water (H2O)?

The correct answer is

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) in a typical acid–carbonate reaction.

The balanced equation is: HCl + NaHCO3 → NaCl + H2O + CO2.

An acid reacting with a hydrogencarbonate (bicarbonate) always liberates carbon dioxide gas, which is why the mixture fizzes/effervesces; the CO2 turns lime water milky.

Hence, along with sodium chloride and water, the gas produced is Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
