Question

The reaction of acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate involves a double replacement that is immediately followed by the

decomposition of an acid. Using your previous work, write the following chemical equations. Include states of matter (s
for solids, aq for aqueous, l for liquids, etc).
a. Double Replacement: _________________________________________________________________
b. Decomposition: ______________________________________________________________________
c.Overall:______________________________________________________________________________

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Double Replacement: CH3COOH(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) --> CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

b. Decomposition: H2CO3(aq) --> H2O(l) + CO2(g)

c.Overall: CH3COOH(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) --> CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) + CO2(g)
