What is the chemical reaction of vinegar and baking soda?

Answer 1

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and vinegar is dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH).

The equation of the reaction is as follows:

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ===> NaCH3COO + H2CO3

NaCH3COO is a salt known as sodium acetate. H2CO3 is carbonic acid which quickly breaks down into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). So the reaction would look like this:

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ===> NaCH3COO + CO2 + H2O

Answer 2

The chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda is co2 <carbon dioxiide>

vinegar -----> baking soda ---------> sodium acetate --------> h2o <water > ------------> co2 <carbon dioxide >

Answer 3

Baking soda, a pure chemical called sodium bicarbonate, has the chemical formula:

NaHCO3

When dissolved in water baking soda separates into sodium (Na+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3- ):

NaHCO3 ---> Na+(aq) + HCO3-(aq)

Vinegar, a weak (5%) solution of acetic acid in water, partially dissociates into hydrogen ( H+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-):

CH3COOH <--> H+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)

The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is actually two reactions, an acid base reaction followed by a decomposition reaction.

When the two ingredients are mixed, hydrogen ions ( H+) from the vinegar react with the bicarbonate ions (HCO3- ) from the baking soda to form a new chemical called carbonic acid (H2CO3).

H+ + HCO3- ---> H2CO3

The carbonic acid thus formed then immediately decomposes into carbon dioxide gas (CO2)and water (H2O).

H2CO3 ---> H2O + CO2

It's this carbon dioxide gas that you see bubbling and foaming as soon as you mix baking soda and vinegar together.

Using the molecular structures of only the components involved, the chemical reaction can be written:

The overall reaction however, is often written as follows:

NaHCO3 (aq) + CH3COOH (aq) ----> CO2 (g) + H2O (l) + CH3COONa (aq)

Answer 4

Vinegar is acetic acid: CH3COOH

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO3

Mixing the two is simply and acid base reaction.

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2CO3

That last product is carbonic acid which quickly decomposes into

carbon dioxide and water:

H2CO3 ---> H2O + CO2

Answer 5

NaHCO3(aq)+CH3COOH(aq)--->CO2(g)+H2O(I)+CH3COONa(aq)

Answer 6

vinegar has acetic acid - CH3COOH

baking soda - NaHCO3

The reaction between the two amounts to

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 -> H2O + NaOCOCH3 + CO2

Answer 7

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 --> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

This formula includes the immediate decomposition of carbonic acid into water and carbon dioxide. The reaction is endothermic.

Answer 8

The chemical formula baking soda is NaHCO₃ Vinegar chemical formula is C2H4O2

Answer 9

The equation is:

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
