Baking soda is made up of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.
When sodium acetate react with soda lime it produce sodium carbonate and methane gas. CH3COONa + NaOH---------- NaCO3 + CH4
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate - NaHCO3.
You add either sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate to acetic acid, and receive a solution of sodium acetate in water. Driving off the water will give you sodium acetate crystals. Hundreds of tons a year are made of this because it has hundreds of uses, so most people who need some just buy it. In a school science lab the safe way to make it is to mix baking soda with vinegar then boil off the water with a hot plate. If you have a factory you make this out of sodium hydroxide and glacial acetic acid, then pour the sodium acetate solution into a pond to evaporate, like they do to get the salt out of seawater.
Baking soda is NaHCO3 aka Sodium Bicarbonate.
you use vinegar and baking soda
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Sodium Acetate Sodium bicarbonate + acetic acid ---> sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water (baking soda) (vinegar)
Mixing vinegar and baking soda sodium acetate is obtained and carbon dioxide is released.
The products of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (dilute acetic acid) are sodium acetate, carbon dioxide, and water.
You can make it yourself by only mixing vinegar and baking soda and then boiling it until its completely mixed ...that how you make sodium acetate. The reactants are right, but I don't know about the vague instructions.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Sodium-Acetate/ (but the soduim acetate will not be pure enough to make hot ice, ive tried it) go here for a good guide on how to make it
solid
The short answer is Chemical Reaction.. To Expand the answer this is what happens: NaHCO3(baking Soda) + HC2H3O2(Acetic Acid) → NaC2H3O2( Sodium Acetate) + H2O(Water) + CO2(Carbon Dioxide) Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) + Acetic Acid (Vinegar) = Sodium Acetate + Water + Carbon Dioxide
The neutralization reaction between the sodium bicarbonate which is the baking soda and the acetic acid in the vinegar results in water and sodium acetate. Sodium acetate is a salt that is rather soluble in water, so it dissolves to form a clear solution.
Hot Ice, Sodium Acetate, is made from vinegar and baking soda.
it foams up and stinks
