A catalyst
A catalyst can be in many forms
<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)
The correct answer is A.) dilute
Acids react with calcium carbonate and more specifically carbonate to form carbon dioxide. An acid will give protons to the carbonate anion to produce carbonic acid which then decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Yes, it is a Compound.
They both comprehend with the atoms of each sourse!
