<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Step 1; NaHCO3(s) + CH3COOH(l)
Step 2 ; CO2(g)
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- The chemical equation for the reaction of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) and vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) reaction occurs in two steps.
Step 1;
- A double displacement reaction in which acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid:
- Equation;
NaHCO3(s)+ CH3COOH(l) → CH3COONa(aq) + H2CO3(l)
Step 2;
- Carbonic acid is unstable and undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce the carbon dioxide gas:
H2CO3(l) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)
If it is blue litmus paper, it will remain blue. If it is red litmus paper, it will remain red. Water is neither an acid nor a base so it will not change the litmus paper.
The answer is B. Suspension. Suspension mixtures are composed of two or more materials mixed together wherein the solute particles are usually larger than those found in a solution or colloid. In cases of solid-fluid suspension mixtures, the solid solute particles tend to settle at the bottom of the mixture after some time.
A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.
