<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)
