They don't make any "element". Presumably carbon dioxide would be given off while sodium citrate would remain in solution.
why is citric acid more water soluable than baking soda
Citric acid will react to baking soda creating sodium citrate and carbon dioxide when mixed with water. Citric acid is also an additive in foods.
It fizzes up.
Hi
Citric acid, like all acids, is a compound.
Use a dry salt of citric acid - like sodium citrate. Add water. THEN they react.
They do not react with water, but instead they react with each other when dissolved in water,m an aqueous solution. For example, acids are only really "acidic" when they are dissolved in water...acidic meaning they give off H+ ions. So, since citric acid is an acid, and baking soda is a base, when the citric acid and baking soda dissolve in water, they react with each other forming sodium citrate, carbon dioxide and water
citric acid is more soluble than baking soda, and baking soda is more soluble than salt
Alka-Seltzer contains aspirin, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and citric acid. When placed in water, the tablet dissolves. The citric acid reacts with the baking soda, and gives off carbon dioxide, which makes bubbles in the water. If you have heartburn, that is caused by too much stomach acid. The baking soda in an Alka-Seltzer counteracts the stomach acid.
it is combined of a three carbon element and then combined with a four carbon element and the made into citric acid.
This makes an endothermic reaction and a drop in temperature. When the baking soda is added to the citric acid it begins to bubble. After a few seconds the citric acid will stop bubbling and remain calm.
Citric acid dissolves in water in an endothermic reaction.
