    Which gas is used in airated ware:

    A)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\]                                  

    B)  \[S{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  CO                                        

    D)  Water vapours

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is an acidic oxide and reacts with bases, forming salts.                 \[Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}+C{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}CaC{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] Solution of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] in water behaves as weak dibasic acid, the solubility in water increases under pressure. This property is used to carbonate drinks (coca-cola etc.) and airated water.                 \[C{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\] \[{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}{{H}^{+}}+HCO_{3}^{-}\]      (salt \[NaHC{{O}_{3}}\]) \[HCO_{3}^{-}{{H}^{+}}+CO_{3}^{2-}\] (salt\[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]) Therefore, \[C{{O}_{2}}\] gas is used in airated water.
