Answer:
The balloon becomes inflated
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction between baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar(ethanoic acid) is shown below;
NaHCO3 + HC2CH3O2 ------> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2
The gas (CO2) evolved in the process leads to the inflation of the balloon dropped on the bottle in which the reaction is taking pace.
This observation provides evidence that a gas was really evolved in the reaction.
To calculate the new pressure, we can use Boyle’s law to relate these two scenarios (Boyle’s law is used because the temperature is assumed to remain constant). Boyle’s law is:
P1V1 = P2V2,
Where “P” is pressure and “V” is volume. The pressure and volume of the first scenario is 215 torr and 51 mL, respectively, and the second scenario has a volume of 18.5 L (18,500 mL) and the unknown pressure - let’s call that “x”. Plugging these into the equation:
(215 torr)(51 mL) =(“x” torr)(18,500 mL)
x = 0.593 torr
The final pressure exerted by the gas would be 0.593 torr.
Hope this helps!
