Which of the following is mild in the reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride?

Correct option is B

Explanation:

The reaction between ammonia and carbon dioxide with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride results in the formation of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃). This process occurs under mild conditions.

• Baking soda is commonly used in cooking and as a cleaning agent.
• The reaction can be summarized as follows: NH₃+CO₂+H₂O→NaHCO3

• Washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na₂CO₃) is produced by heating baking soda.
• Bleaching powder is calcium hypochlorite(Ca(OCl)₂), and it is not formed in this reaction.
• Baking powder contains baking soda along with other ingredients but is a separate compound.
