Question

Which chemical reaction is the fastest?

A. Mold grows on bread.
B. Bacteria make yogurt from milk.
C. Yeast produces air pockets in bread.
D. Baking soda produces bubbles when vinegar is poured on it.

Answer 1

D. Baking soda produces bubbles when vinegar is poured on it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acetic acid = C₂H₄O₂

Baking soda = NaHCO₃

C₂H₄O₂ + NaHCO₃ → NaC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O + CO₂

When baking soda is added to vinegar, a chemical reaction will take place producing a huge amount of carbon-dioxide in the form of bubbles in the foaming mixture.
