<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)
Answer:
Explanation:
The changes in properties from metals to non-metals on a periodic table can be measured and determined by the metallicity or electropositivity of elements.
Metallicity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.
a.
Down a periodic group, metallicity increases.
b.
Across a period from left to right electropositivity or metallicity decreases.
Metals are found in the left part of periodic table and the most reactive metal sits in the lower left corner. Non-metals are towards the right side of the table.
