    A)  \[CO\]           

    B)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  hydrogen      

    D)  water vapour

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Generally soda-lime removes \[C{{O}_{2}}\] from an acid but in case of alkali formate it gives alkali carbonate and hydrogen. \[HCOONa+NaOH\xrightarrow{CaO}N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}\]
